Technologies That will Manage Social Distancing
The reopening of shopping malls is now under consideration in Israel and the world, with various safety limitations, after a prolonged closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition to a new routine characterized by social distancing will be based on the use of innovative technologies, including applications that will supply real-time data.
A smartphone app developed by US-based SocialSmart for both the iPhone and Android operating systems uses anonymous bluetooth technology to monitor the social distancing habits of its users and, via a unique algorithm, inform users of their social distancing success by measuring the quantity and quality of each user’s social interactions, according to aithority.com.
The app, which will be free of charge to download, adds a layer of social distancing data so individuals, families and communities can make more intelligent social distancing decisions. The app can accurately track how many people a user socializes with during the day (inside a distance of 10 feet) as well as the duration of the interaction.
It then compiles a real-time user score based on his or her interactions, giving the user a simple touchpoint to either maintain or improve their social distancing habits.
