Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  How can technology be used to help people get back to work while protecting privacy?   MIT professor Alex Pentland has been working with the U.N. and many world leaders to come up with solutions…and says having people with antibodies become certified…with privacy guarded under medical guidelines is doable.  In fact, that kind of system is working in some countries…such as South Korea…

“So what we’re working to do is make it so that people don’t have this sort of “big brother” data base around and then a lot of people are going to be immune to this, at least somewhat.  Those are the people that ought to be in the front line.  Those are the people, today, disproportionately, that are out of work.”

Professor Pentland says certifications could work much like the ApplePay or GooglePay apps on smartphones.

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  A company called Care Predict is using a high tech wearable device to be able to monitor the contacts of people in senior care and similar facilities.  That enables faster tracing for exposure to Coronavirus…which has proven to be deadly in many nursing homes and such.  Care Predict Chief Business Officer Jerry Wilmink says with the residents and staff equipped with the wrist worn devices…

“If an individual is, in fact, infected, they can actually go to that individual’s profile in our software and the staff can then identify, for instance,  the resident and then it simply goes through all of the exposures and the interactions the person has made.”

The wearable also monitors health and there is a version for home use as well.  For more, go to www.carepredict.com.
