TraceSigma

Premise

With the release of the BlueTrace and Google/Apple Contact Tracing specification, we realize the practicality of low-cost readily-available embedded BLE devices in the role of aiding tracing in cases to complement Android/iOS phones, or as standalone units.

Project TraceSigma aims to develop and release open-sourced code and reference designs of a portable, clip-on device with the aim to allow anyone internationally to build and deploy compatible self-contained tracing devices.
