Abstract: This study describes and reviews the implementation and utility of a hardware and software solution designed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to address a critical clinical population of migrant foreign workers living in dormitories in Singapore, the latter representing the majority of COVID-19 cases locally. Over a two-month period, the solution measured compliant and non-compliant movement of these dormitory residents via the use of wearable devices, location beacons, wave scanners, LoRAWAN gateways, and PwC’s “CONTRA†platform.
