A study published in 2018 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highlighted that indoor air is 100 times more contaminated than outside air and that current-day populations spend at least 80 percent of their time indoors.

“Microshare’s Universal Contact Tracing solution is designed for occupant safety and universal access, based on wearables, which closes the loopholes and privacy problems of the smartphone. While tracing contact anonymously between facility occupants through badges, wristbands and keyrings, it avoids vulnerability of the smartphone approach where data can be disabled, batteries lose power or usage is shared among people who work on different shifts. It also runs on LoRaWAN® gateways separate from proprietary networks, avoiding serious security problems associated with Wi-Fi and other cellphone data technologies.”
