A tracking wristband is expected to help manage people who need to be quarantined at home as a COVID precautionary measure, and also to monitor those who have been in contact with patients, allowing them to be quarantined at home.

The wristband utilizes GPS technology and will send out an alert if the wearer exits a quarantine zone. It is a single-use wristband, meaning if the user removes it, it will send a warning to authorities and a new one has to be used to continue tracking. Besides tracking, the wristband also scans body temperature, detects altitude changes and calorie consumption. (Photo: Ginnovations)
