Solution Name

Self Check-in system for self-quarantined personal

Solution Description

14-day self-quarantined isolation self-check-in Solution

This solution involves using NFC wristband and a mobile app to identify the user's location whenever the user tap their mobile phone onto their wristband which might serve as an alternative idea to the existing wristband.


Pro:

1. Low cost

2. no GPS, therefore won't gather too much personal info on the person. Only obtain person's location when they make contact with their wristband on their phone.

3. Easy and simple to register,

4. Good authentication. Very difficult to cheat the system

Con:

1. Require a smartphone with NFC capability (e.g. iPhone 7 or above, most Android)


To authenticate the person's location, the person will need to tap their NFC wristband onto their phone, the phone would upload the location detail and the person is required to take a photo of themselves to complete the process. The authentication process could be carried out at a frequency that seems feasible.
