The Centre is preparing to procure thousands of wristbands<\/a> which will be embedded with its Arogya Setu<\/a> app to monitor movements of patients in both hospital and house quarantine, and also help frontline workers take adequate care when they visit houses for screening of patients.
Broadcast Engineering Consultants India will pitch the designs to AIIMS and other government hospitals this week and then to state governments. BECIL will look at the commercial aspect of procuring technology the government needs and is working with Bengaluru and Gurgaon-based startups on designing the tool.
As the emphasis is on home quarantine, wristbands will help in remote monitoring<\/a>, help health professionals know people’s temperature and symptoms. The numbers are going to be significant as more and more people will be asked to self-isolate, an official said. Technical bids for the wristbands closed on Monday, and now the PSU, along with senior government officials, is reviewing the designs.
“Each infected person has the ability to infect 100 others. So the numbers under monitoring will be huge in the coming days. The wristbands will ensure that people quarantined with suspected infections stay at a designated place. If they take it off, the hospitals will be informed. Once integrated with Arogya Setu app, there will be many more parameters which will be available for the health officials’ supervision,” the official said.
Online meetings have been set up with company heads to discuss the 'proof of concept,' of the design, an official said.
“Several states have told us how they are using a lot of manpower and resources to track movements... This will be helpful to frontline workers to monitor patients’ health and also be warned when they enter risk zones,” he added. The wristbands could be priced at around 2,200 a piece, which could be less if the demands go down.
Maharashtra and Karnataka already have a home quarantine tracking system, while Kerala uses GPS solutions extensively.
According to the technical document, the tool will also “detect, prevent and investigate threats to national security using CDR, IPDR, Tower, Mobile<\/a> Phone Forensics Data, and Open Street Maps, Google Maps and Offline Maps without internet”.
The band would monitor “everyday behaviour of the person, including where s\/he orders food from and the places s\/he regularly visits, the multiple routes s\/he could take”.
\"The tool should be able to easily identify close contacts, frequent contacts as well as occasional contacts such as Uber drivers etc, and be able to collect information like where the suspect has spent most of his\/her time and who all he or she has met,\" the document said.
Several countries have ramped up their surveillance to keep track of COVID-19<\/a> patients. Taiwan has a mobile phone-based ‘electronic fence’ that uses location-tracking technology, while Hong Kong had mandated an electronic wristband on infected people to keep them quarantined.
Experts, however, have also raised serious questions about privacy and civil liberties with the use of these tools.

该中心正准备采购成千上万腕带将嵌入式的吗Arogya是以应用监控运动的病人在医院和检疫,并帮助一线工人照顾足够的访问房子时患者的筛查。
广播工程顾问印度将向全设计和其他政府医院本周然后州政府。BECIL将着眼于采购技术的商业方面,政府需要和正在与班加罗尔和Gurgaon-based创业设计工具。
重点是国内检疫,腕带将帮助远程监控,帮助卫生专业人员知道人们的温度和症状。数量会明显随着越来越多的人将被要求self-isolate,一位官员说。技术投标腕带周一,现在事业单位,以及政府高级官员,正在审查的设计。
“每一个感染者有100人感染的能力。所以下的数字监控在未来几天将是巨大的。腕带将确保人民隔离疑似感染呆在一个指定的地方。如果他们拿下来,医院将被告知。一旦结合Arogya是以应用,将会有更多的参数将用于卫生官员的监督,”这位官员说。
在线会议建立了与公司领导讨论的概念验证,设计,一位官员说。
“有几个州已经告诉我们他们如何使用大量的人力和资源跟踪运动……这将有助于前线工人监测病人的健康,也要注意当他们进入危险区域,”他补充说。腕带可以售价约2200一张,可如果需求下降。
马哈拉施特拉邦和卡纳塔克邦已经检疫跟踪系统,在喀拉拉邦广泛使用GPS解决方案。
根据技术文件,该工具还将“检测、预防和调查国家安全威胁使用CDR, IPDR,塔,移动手机取证数据和公开街道地图、谷歌地图和离线地图没有互联网”。
乐队将监控“日常行为的人,包括他/她的订单食物从他/她经常访问的地方,多重路线他/她可能需要“。
”这个工具应该能够轻松地识别密切接触者,经常接触以及偶尔接触超级司机等,并能收集信息,如在怀疑他/她的大部分时间是在和所有他或她了,“文档表示。
几个国家已加大跟踪监测COVID-19病人。台湾有一个基于移动电话“电子围栏”,使用定位跟踪技术,而香港授权电子腕带在感染者隔离。
然而,专家也提出了严重质疑个人隐私和公民自由使用这些工具。
