“If we are within six feet for over a period of five minutes, the wristband will start to vibrate.  It has a red light that blinks…so that indicates that you are in contact and need to walk away.  While doing that it automatically records your ID on my device and my device ID on yours."

So the data can help with contact tracing.   You can find more info at www.Visybl.com.
