Reactec repurposes its wearable monitor to manage social distancing

A Scottish tech company has repurposed its system for monitoring workers’ exposure to health risk to create a tool to manage social distancing in the workplace.

Edinburgh-based Reactec has devised Safedistance as a tool to be used within construction, rail, manufacturing and other workplaces.

Safedistance is based on an industrial grade wrist-worn device and it alerts workers if they have strayed to within two metres of a colleague.

The device is also designed to inform employers of the frequency and severity of breaches of social distancing protocols and can help with contact tracing of those who’ve been close to employees who subsequently display Covid-19 symptoms.
