Insight, Microshare Partner on IoT-based Contact Tracing to Help Prevent Spread of Disease<\/b><\/p>\n

The Insight Connected Platform combined with Microshare’s wearable sensing technology accelerate the ability for organizations to quickly perform contact tracing while maintaining user privacy<\/i><\/p>\n

TEMPE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nInsight Enterprises (NASDAQ: NSIT), the global integrator of Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions\u2122 for organizations of all sizes, today announced the wearable Insight Connected Platform\u2122 for Contact Tracing<\/a> solution in collaboration with Microshare Inc.<\/a>, a Philadelphia-based data solutions company.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs another facet of the Insight Connected Platform for Detection and Prevention<\/a>, the contact tracing solution helps prioritize both the health and privacy of customers and employees. It empowers organizations to quickly deploy and easily manage an effective system to identify potential infection incidents with greater immediacy. Timing is critical, as up to 79.9% of COVID-19 transmissions can be prevented with immediate tracing and testing, yet effectiveness is reduced to 41.8% after three days and just 4.9% with a seven-day delay, according to clinical research<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nWith this new solution, simple wearable devices and hardware securely collect contact data, which is aggregated and processed by the Insight Connected Platform<\/a>, a flexible, scalable Internet of Things (IoT) application for managing people, places, equipment and alerts. Insight\u2019s IoT platform brings together Microshare\u00ae<\/sup> Universal Contact Tracing technology, Kerlink\u00ae<\/sup> Wanesy wave scanners and industrial-grade LoRaWAN\u00ae<\/sup> gateways.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWell into this pandemic and with a vaccine on the horizon, companies might be reluctant to invest in stand-alone contact-tracing technologies. But this solution and our partnership with Microshare consider broader, enduring needs to safeguard environments and establish smarter facilities,\u201d said Stan Lequin, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Innovation, Insight. \u201cThe societal implications of this virus will be long lasting \u2013 businesses will be held to new, higher standards when it comes to keeping high-traffic areas sanitized and employees safe and healthy. The same technology being used for contract tracing also can be implemented to solve other business issues.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe emerging partnership currently has multiple pilot deployments in flight, and both Insight\u2019s and Microshare\u2019s detection and prevention technologies have been previously deployed in retail small businesses<\/a>, large corporate facilities<\/a>, factories, residential buildings, hospitals, assisted-living facilities and schools.\n<\/p>\n

\nRon Rock, Microshare CEO and co-founder, said: \u201cThe Insight Connected Platform represents a step forward in integrating solutions that address COVID-19 and those which lock in the safety and wellness that will be demanded as a requirement of the post-pandemic world. Our collaboration with Insight will accelerate that goal.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
