Navy COVID Rapid Response Team (NCR2T)
Abstract
A critical aspect of COVID-19 mitigation and response is social distancing and contact tracing. Maintaining social distancing is a challenging endeavor for US Navy personnel be it distance of time exposure variables. Self maintaining a contact log as Navy community perform work sometimes without clear understanding and knowledge of distance and time variables as well as personnel identification (name, etc). Utilizing a wearable device with applicable built-in technology and applications increases ability to identify exposure to others in proximity (both distance and time). Wearables also enable rapid contact tracing by quickly identifying other wearables that have been in proximity to a user of concern. Contact Tracing also provides monitoring capabilities that allow for early detection of the disease and thus possibly reduce further transmission of the virus. This effort is being performed utilizing Army support under US Army ASA (ALT) Chief Technology Officer Technology Analysis, Modeling and Prototyping (AMP) Studies Technical Instruction (TI): CTO/TI/009-Navy Proximity Tracking.
