A Vancouver-based company, TraceSafe, is working with cruise lines to develop onboard contact tracing systems that could help the industry return to operations.
TraceSafe, which specializes in wearable technology, has entered into a partnership with Tritan Software, a Miami company that provides health and medical operations to 95 percent of major cruise lines, as well as the commercial shipping, energy and mining industries.
TraceSafe makes medallion wristbands, about the size of two poker chips stacked on top of one another, said Wayne Lloyd, CEO of TraceSafe Inc. The wearables use Bluetooth Low Energy, which uses very low power to let devices communicate.
“We make it flexible so passengers can choose exactly how to wear it,” he said. “It’s similar to how you use a room key and have it with you all the time.”
The company also wants to make it easy to wear the devices and not infringe on a vacation experience.
“The idea is everyone’s very concerned about safety and health right now, but we don’t want to make it an experience that’s sort of like going to the dentist,” Lloyd said. “A cruise is supposed to be fun and engaging. We don’t want it to be seen as a wearing a lifejacket the whole time on a cruise.”
Contact tracing lets medical professionals track everyone an infected person came into contact with to check if COVID-19 has been spread. The information is encrypted (or “pseudonymized”), stored on a cloud and only accessed if needed by a small number of people.
“Privacy is our No. 1 concern,” Lloyd said. “Our first major executive hire was a chief privacy officer. This is just something that works only on the boat; there is no GPS tracking. If you go for a day excursion, we cannot tell where you’ve been.”
Some cruise lines and theme parks already use wearable devices to open guestroom doors, charge items or even order food and drink.
TraceSafe uses its own wearables, though, which can be adjusted as needs change.
“Our technology is very adaptable,” Lloyd said. “When changes to the CDC guidelines come out, that can be quite catastrophic. With our framework, we’re quite flexible and can quickly and agilely adapt and meet those requirements. We’re fine with whatever the CDC decides, as our product will adapt and make sure it works flawlessly.”
For example, the system also could be used to ensure someone stays in quarantine.
TraceSafe’s wearable safety technology was used at the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation’s World Junior Hockey Championship held in late December and early 2021 in Edmonton, Canada. The system performed contact tracing and physical-distance monitoring during the championship “to enhance the safety of the teams, staff and media in the tournament bubble,” the company said.
I have no idea on how each cruise line will handle a contact with an infected person, even if you are vaccinated. Vaccinations are not 100% effective.
Is this another stay in your cabin for x amount of days until you get cleared by a covid test?-Tom

Planes, cruise ships. Amtrak next? Access control to interstate highways? IIRC, TSA can stop vehicles. Anyone? Bueller?
“I have no idea on how each cruise line will handle a contact with an infected person...”
Gang plank?
(I’ve been watching too much “Black Sails”.)
My Daughter two weeks ago had a person in work come down with covid and listed her as one of the many contacts.
She was quarantined for several days and then tested to see if she had come down with covid.
When the test showed negative, she was then allowed to return to work.-Tom
So they plan to make it mandatory. This is just another way of controlling people and giving it a nice-sounding name. What happens if you don’t conform?
Who is funding the development of this thing? Follow the money.
“encrypted” is not “pseudonymized”.
Conditioning for whats soon to come next....stay tuned
These will make everything so much more fun
Theres only one way to stop all this, and no one has the guts to do it.
Or ‘sodomized’. Ref the new sec of transportation. Just sayin’....................
My sister works for a company that is getting programs ready for companies to implement tracing of their employees. She is one of the roll-out managers and they just gave her an award for her outstanding work. She has bought it all.
The irony is that there is a lot of evidence that Covid is about to go away due to herd immunity.
We apes always are busy fighting the last war.

However, we were on our way out of the covid too soon for the planners of the pandemic. They needed to stretch it out as long as they could. They had to claim as many deaths as possible were "covid" in order to puff up their numbers, to keep the so-called "pandemic" going long enough for us all to get injected.
How scientific is that? It is not. They have lied to us about almost everything. They did not tell us we got out of the pandemic in April 2020 and then the WHO very unscientifically changed the definition of herd immunity in October to say that herd immunity was when "everyone is vaccinated." Again to fit their agenda to get everyone injected.
I do not believe a word that comes out of any of their mouths and that includes the lamestreamers, because they are complicit conduits of lies.
Im not surprised that companies in Vancouver are working over time to get the cruise ships sailing again...Vancouver must be losing BILLIONS ...

Didnt they used to do something like this for VD at one time...contact tracing all the ‘partners’ the person had ???
I am sure the politicians in eastern parts of Canada couldn't care less about Vancouver's problems. Anymore than our politicians in DC care about Florida or Texas problems.
Some states and cities are on their own, with the Biden type groups now in charge. -Tom
