April 2020: inXsol assists Small Business to reconstruct employee contact history and evaluate COVID exposure risk

When an employee realized they have had contact with a COVID positive individual there was a need to reconstruct timelines. With the COVID shutdown, employees are primarily working from home however some trips into the office were necessary. Over the past few weeks there are doubts about when and who were in the same office or client site at the same time.

inXsol applied their ExposureTrack technology to make sense of a group of employee’s location history.

Feature

Benefit

  • Uses Google Takeout Data
  • Popular feature allows retroactive recovery of location history
  • No new app to install on the phone device
  • Anonymity possible – to the extent that labeling the data set and deciding on who sees results is supported
  • Team/Group/Organizations
  • Private “sandbox” to process your data sets
  • A component of a COVID hiearchy of controls


What control measures can you implement?

  • First – Implement “Source Controls”
    What can you do along the lines of Social Distancing and changing person to person interactions? These measures help control possible sources.

  • Next – Implement “Pathway Controls”
    Examples are barriers (plexiglass/acrylic), ventilation – how is your HVAC configured?

  • “Receptor” Controls
    You are a receptor – as a final least preferred option, what personal protective equipment (PPE) can protect the worker.

How can a person become infected by COVID-19? [Learn More]

  • By Contact
    If the virus is on an object like a doorknob, elevator button, credit card signature pad etc. and your fingers transfer it to your nose or eyes inadvertently.

  • Through Droplets
    When someone nearby sneezes or coughs, especially if that person takes no measure to contain the cough/sneeze or is not wearing a mask. The droplets expelled and propelled if they land on your face and mucous membranes can infect you.

  • Airborne
    The virus can be suspended in the air and travel like dust particles. This is where the general 6 foot distancing rule came from but there are many variabilities in airflow dynamics in any situation.
  • Aerosol
    Similar to Airborne, when the virus droplets are so small that buoyant forces overcome gravity allowing the infection to stay suspended in the air for a longer period. [Learn More]

Google Takeout

Contact Tracing

Can google timeline data be used for contact tracing, used in infectious disease outbreak control/ep?

YES. If the use case matches. ExpsoureTrack was used to locate intersects for a business that was somewhat shut down but required employees to sporadically come to office to get customer files or computers. When one person’s partner went positive for COVID we used Google location history volunteered from employees to process when employees were at the office or customer sites together and used parameters for distance and time span (like 3 days for any on surface risk).  If you need to make use of the tool it is free and we would be happy to support any analysis of data in the platform – use the contact form on the site. This is an MVP release that produces reports and map visualizations.

 

A Tool For Business

How can ExposureTrack help my Small Business?

ExposureTrack makes use of Google Location history which you may already be collecting on your Android or iPhone device. Employees or site visitors can be advised that in the event a COVID risk is identified that the individuals can opt to scan their timeline for connection with a potential risk.

For a demonstration of the technology or assistance in making use of the platform please contact us.

What is Contact Tracing?

What exactly is Contact Tracing?

Contact Tracing is the process of identification of persons who may have come into contact with an infected person (“contacts”). By tracing the contacts of infected individuals, testing them for infection, treating the infected and tracing their contacts in turn, public health aims to reduce infections in the population. Diseases for which contact tracing is commonly performed for include tuberculosis, vaccine-preventable infections like measles, sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), blood-borne infections, some serious bacterial infections, and novel infections (e.g. SARS-CoV, H1N1, and COVID-19).
