How A Simple App Can Help the World Get Back to Work
…And be prepared for the next pandemia.
As governments continue to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are looking for ways to get their people safely back to work. Corporations are having to balance the need to ramp up operations with the health of their employees, partners, and customers. These businesses must also consider evolving government regulations regarding social distancing, occupancy limits, testing, and reporting. Fortunately, through the use of existing technology, companies can effectively manage the health of employees without compromising the privacy of the workforce.
At Hypelabs, a leading mesh networking provider with six years of experience in mesh network deployments, we have been able to adapt our existing technology to quickly launch an app designed specifically to aid in employee health management during this unprecedented time. OKDetect is a private and anonymous system that detects physical proximities between smartphones and offers HR teams unique insights without compromising privacy.
Are you worried about reopening your factories, offices, business centres, hotels, or airports, while keeping your employees safe?
Our patented and proven technology can help ensure business continuity in any workplace by empowering HR teams to oversee employee interactions. This innovation will allow management to monitor compliance with corporate and government social distancing recommendations. For instance, mobile devices can be set to vibrate when an employee comes within 2 meters of another. Management can also quickly determine adherence to occupancy limits for office spaces by viewing anonymous location and traffic reports.
The system is designed with multiple redundancies allowing it to operate efficiently even when users are offline. When a user runs out of data or goes offline, our technology can distribute offline alerts to nearby users without an internet connection. Anonymous data can then be uploaded when network connectivity is reestablished. The app runs in the background, requires no user input, and works on both iOS and Android devices.
In the event that a case of COVID-19 is discovered within a workplace, OKDetect will allow employers to mitigate the risk to others by quickly alerting the other employees who may have had contact with the person who was ill. The smaller subgroup can be tested or quarantined while the rest of the factory or office continues to operate. This increases productivity in the organization and gives employees the peace of mind to know they are in a safe work environment. Workspace safety not only contributes to the wellbeing of your employees, but also drastically decreases your cost, reducing your workspace insurance and employee health insurance premiums.
At Hypelabs, we can help you deploy OKDetect quickly and easily, allowing employees to get back to work faster. At the same time, the secure technology will ensure the privacy of the workforce and company data. The app utilizes secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and cryptography to protect the employee’s identity by generating a random and anonymous Device ID number. No personal information is ever asked for, collected, or shared, and no data is ever stored on Hypelabs servers.
Imagine the following case study at your factory:
Our app can be white-labeled with your company name and logo. Our SDK can also be quickly integrated into your existing software for seamless deployment. OKDetect is ready for immediate implementation to help your business reopen, while caring for the health of your employees.
I am excited to see how quickly we are helping companies get up and running again during the second wave!
