Wyld Networks and Ascom partnership

Visitors and staff will be asked to download the smartphone app and enter information on symptoms, test results, and eventually their vaccine status to enable care homes to judge whether they are an infection risk. Residents will wear IoT devices to connect them to the system.

Using the technology’s sophisticated location capability, care homes will also be able to create two metre virtual geozones around staff, visitors and residents to enforce social distancing and keep them safe.

Managers will also be able to visualise social distancing as a heat map in real time to make informed decisions on changing building infrastructure, room occupancy levels, routines and processes to further enable best practice.
