Improve contact tracing for COVID-19 exposure
Contact Harald uses Bluetooth technology to provide a fast and effective stand-alone solution as it doesn’t require the use of WIFI, apps, phones, IT installation or charging for contact tracing.
Each individual is issued a registered contact card unique to them. They remain secure, containing no personal information. If an employee tests positive or reports symptoms of COVID-19, proximity data can be uploaded from the card. All data is encrypted and secure.

The Bluetooth-enabled technology within each card records when two or more people are in close proximity to each other (less than six feet for more than two minutes). If an employee tests positive for COVID-19 the contacts tracked in close proximity of that worker are immediately notified to get tested and remain isolated until the results come in. This proactive behavior gets everyone back to work faster.
“With further hotspots emerging across the country, the nature of this virus makes getting back to work rather complicated,” says Matt Denton, the former Apple designer behind the Contact Harald platform. “Designed with speed and accuracy at its heart, this unique platform can quickly identify, contact and isolate any potential sources of infection.” He notes the striking green Contact Harald cards also offer a visual compliance cue, which can help with morale and confidence across all industry sectors.
First and foremost, Contact Harald is on a mission to provide a simple, private and easily accessible option for schools and businesses to implement contact tracing. The hope is to ensure continuity across locations as these Bluetooth-enabled cards mitigate health safety risks and avoid closures.
The system will identify those who have a Contact Harald tag and the system can be used to contact them if they had contact with the infected person within the last 20 days. It has the ability to send out group SMS or emails to notify, check-in, and update those who have been in contact with the infected person while maintaining confidentiality. The cost is about $30 per card.
