InstantAccess powered by Xtrace is a one-stop solution for opening our doors again, says MD Stan Shepherd
It’s been a long haul for event organisers and venues. Closing the doors to attendees has driven events online, but networking just isn’t the same. Customers are keen to return in person and now they can return to global venues safely.
Many venues identify attendees with wristbands that allow entry to the event. At Instant Access Medical we have come up with a simple solution that incorporates smart software in the wristbands. Powered by Xtrace, the bands will inform the wearer if they have come into close contact with someone who later tests positive.
So how does it work?
The event or venue will work with Instant Access to provide wristbands to everyone who attends. Attendees will pair the wristband with a downloadable app to populate with their own COVID data, including vaccinations and immunity status.
To attend the event, visitors must legally warrant their data is accurate at the point of entry.
On arrival, wristbands now containing the data will be scanned by IAM’s Sentinel Readers. If the light is green, they are safe to enter the venue. Once inside, the wristbands will scan all those within 2 metres for more than 10 minutes. These ‘at risk’ encounters are stored in the Instant Access Cloud.
“It doesn’t mean every opportunity for enjoyment is risk free, but everyone can control their exposure much more successfully and feel confident going out” – Stan Shepherd, Managing Director, Instant Access Medical
During the event the attendees will be contacted immediately, so they can get tested as soon as possible to make sure they are still safe. If someone later tests positive within 14 days, all those within the range will be instantly notified. All they should do is go for a test and remember to upload the results in the app to keep everyone else safe. If they have been infected, they will know immediately and can take the necessary action.
All data is secure and doesn’t rely on location, so individual information is personal and confidential. Best of all, everyone has an up to date record of their own health status that they can show to anyone anytime.
Reopen safely and securely
For venue owners and conference/concert organisers, the solution is easy to operate. By installing IAM’s Sentinel Readers and providing data-driven wristbands for attendees, visitors can be screened at entry points and refused access if they do not have the required vaccination or immunity status.
As a result, owners and operators will know their venue is safe and their event is only attended by those with negative COVID tests or those who have been vaccinated. Even if a visitor tests positive afterwards, the client base will be informed if they have been within 2 metres of the person who has tested positive and will be able to update their own information accordingly.
The app doesn’t use location services so any positive tests will not reveal the venue as the point of contact. It doesn’t mean every opportunity for enjoyment is risk free, but everyone can control their exposure much more successfully and feel confident going out.
