This App Tracks People’s Movements During Coronavirus Crisis
Fredericton-based Gray Wolf Analytics has responded to Covid-19 by launching SafeContact, an app that helps with tracking and tracing the movements of individuals through the crisis.
Gray Wolf started business only last year and its core focus is a cybersecurity product that helps agencies monitor blockchains to ensure cryptocurrencies aren’t being used for criminal purposes. The Covid-19 crisis prompted its six-member team to turn their attention to a solution to help society get back to normal.
SafeContact is a GPS-driven app that allows users to record and track their own movements. Users control their data, and can share it with healthcare professionals or others if they choose to. The goal is to help establish where people have been, who they’ve been in contact with, both now and as the crisis eases. Gray Wolf launched SafeContact on Monday and it is free for now.
“When this all began, we looked at what we could do to help out,” said Gray Wolf Co-Founder and CEO Dhirendra Shukla in an interview Monday. “How can we come together and create a unique solution that is more patient and user-centric than existing solutions?”
