    • The ServiceNow® Contact Tracing application helps organizations reduce workplace transmission of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, by identifying any on-site users who might have been in contact with an affected user. The user receives updates about the number of reported cases or symptoms in the location. A list of potentially exposed users is created from various data inputs, including badge activity for when and how many times a user has entered a building, such as badge scans, Wi-Fi access logs, and daily contact logs.

    Features

    In Contact Tracing version 1.29.4. and above, the navigation path is not available in the Application search context menu (All > Contact Tracing) for Zebra and Devvio. The navigation path is available if you are using Contact Tracing 1.29.2 and later versions.

    • Identify on-site users who may have been in contact with a potentially infected user.
    • Aggregate contact tracing information across workplace locations, work shifts and reservations, badge scans, Wi-Fi access logs, and self-reporting logs to enhance search criteria.

    • Identify potential user interactions with a user using the Wi-Fi access data by correlating who connected to the same Wi-Fi network using laptops, mobile devices, or Bluetooth LE devices. You can get the Wi-Fi access data by manual import or through integration with Mist Systems get data through integration with external systems, such as Mist Systems or Cisco DNA Spaces. .

    • Get the contact tracing data of users who use handheld or wearable devices at the workplace. You can import the contact tracing report from Zebra MotionWorks Portal.
    • Monitor risk scores of users who use wearable devices at the workplace. You can import risk score reports with Devvio integration.
    • Create outreach cases and tasks for follow-up interviews with potentially impacted users.
    • Assess the status of potentially exposed contacts and their next two levels of potential exposures from within a case using visualization.
    • Assess the status of potentially exposed contacts and their next level of exposures from within a case using visualization.
    • Maintain the data privacy of users, in the context of contact tracing by obtaining their consent.
    • Use data retention settings to determine when the data collected for contact tracing is automatically deleted from the system.
