A contact or proximity network map defines who and what objects have come in contact of each other including location and time. This map selects the list people who have come in contact with known infected people based on contagious disease epidemiology criteria for the purpose of control its spread, or to prevent radiation poisoning, limit bio-chemicals exposure, etc. This selected list of people then undergoes testing and quarantine procedures. It can monitor hygiene practices and reduce nosocomial infections in hospitals and mitigate the pandemic flu threat by controlling spread and control contamination. It controls people interaction, information flow in a high security environment, control crime or gang activities. Each person or object has a proximity-sensing device with unique ID, which is recorded by the encountered units during contact. This information is stored with time stamp in a relational database. It generates contact maps with real time replication of its database via a central web database for retrieval and analysis at any site. |
