With it, organizations can confidently assess operational risks and wellness while continuously and proactively monitoring for potential liability impacts using real-time decision and analytical risk information. The platform and app feature:
- Management Communication Hub: Manage users, view case status (active, pending, quarantined, recovered) and access contact tracing.
- Risk Analysis Dashboard: Gives managers an overall risk score based on anonymized data.
- Proximity Alerts: Notifies employees if they are too close, as defined by CDC guidelines.
- Contact Tracing: Automatically alerts employees of contact with a confirmed case and instructs next steps.
- Symptom Log: Allows employees to track daily symptoms to manage personal risk and offers a personal risk score.
- Access Manager: A daily QR Code notifies employees if they meet the accepted risk profile. Can be used to allow or prevent access to physical locations.
- Cybersecurity and Privacy: Radio frequency, Bluetooth, rolling proximity identifiers (RPIDs), security encryption and digital tokens are leveraged to ensure data privacy and security at the highest levels.
“Unlike contact tracing systems, Virtual PPE doesn’t collect and store data in a centralized database,” says Mike Magnifico, CTO and partner, Liberty Advisor Group. “The employee is always in control and shares only the information they explicitly decide to share with their employer. Employers have full control over the anonymized data to make informed decisions about wellness, risk and potential liability considerations.”
