Your Smartwatch Will Help Protect You From The Virus

Contact tracking with smart watches, which have recently become an integral part of our lives, may soon become possible.

As you know , one of the most important points in the fight against the new type of coronavirus is knowing who has been contacted by people infected with the virus. At this point, Exposure Notification Systems ensure that the users are informed by giving warnings when they approach someone who has been diagnosed. As a matter of fact, with new developments, contact tracking period with smart watches may begin.

Smart Watches Will Alert People!

One of the basic facts we have to see is that not everyone uses a smartphone. It may become possible for these people to benefit from smart watches at the contact tracking point in the next few months. Mark Powell, CEO of Bluetooth SIG, said in a statement:

"It is incredibly inspiring that our community is looking for innovative ways to harness Bluetooth technology to contain the Covid-19 pandemic."

In this way, users will be able to get help from smart watches to benefit from contact tracking features. This feature, which is currently under development, is expected to be ready in the next few months. On the other hand, the availability of this on smart watches may be delayed to a later calendar.
