The first type is the Bluezone smart bracelet, manufactured by a Vietnamese enterprise. Expected price is 6 USD / unit (about 138,000 VND). The bracelet uses Bluezone open source core, 30-day battery, and is used in cases where smartphones are not used like in factories, used for the elderly … to support monitoring, medical declaration… (Illustration) The second type is a GPS navigation bracelet to help manage in the isolation area, priced at 35 USD/piece (equivalent to 800,000 VND). This bracelet will identify the wearer’s location, have a warning to destroy or remove the bracelet; 30 days battery, can be charged repeatedly and reused. The bracelet has a warning sent to the quarantined person, the medical officer in charge when leaving the allowed range or violating the predetermined route. Before that, following the request of the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to complete the application to manage entry people from the time of entry, at the isolation area and to monitor their health after the end of the quarantine period. In the case of centralized isolation, the Ministry of Information and Communications (TT&TT) has proposed to apply a specialized bracelet to support the monitoring of people in centralized and post-isolation isolation developed by Vietnamese technology enterprises. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, some countries have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects, but the use of available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Male. The purchase of foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of the partner, which can significantly affect the Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Meanwhile, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (mastering technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. The tracking bracelet solution could open up a new direction of management for low-risk quarantined people. They will be fitted with a bracelet to monitor their self-isolation at home. This approach helps to reduce the risk of cross-infection in the isolation area, and at the same time eases the social burden, especially the team working in epidemic prevention and control.

People make electronic medical declarations. The National Center for Technology for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has the task of acting as the focal point for coordination and coordination with agencies, organizations and enterprises participating in technical and technology-related support and cooperation to support support for the prevention of COVID-19; design, organize, build, manage, operate, monitor, ensure safety and network security for technology platforms and systems for epidemic prevention and control. The center performs unified management, centralized connection and distribution of electronic medical declaration data, domestic movement declaration data, people’s reflection data, quarantine point data and data control entry and exit of quarantine points between epidemic prevention technology systems. The Center has a flexible working structure, is not an administrative organization, does not create additional organizations and staff, besides the Director, in charge of general administration is the leader of the Informatics Department. The Ministry of Information and Communications also invites medical experts and technology experts to join the National Center for Technology for COVID-19 Prevention and Control, as core members. Reportedly, in the conclusion of the online meeting of the National Steering Committee with the provinces of Bac Ninh, Bac Giang and Ho Chi Minh City on June 2, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Health, The information analysis team of the National Steering Committee coordinated and gathered businesses and experts to urgently complete applications, software and technology solutions to effectively support the task of medical declaration, managing people in isolation, tracing, managing people entering and leaving the hospital, testing and administering vaccines; complete the COVID-19 safety map tool so that localities, businesses and people can look up and participate in updating smoothly.

“Last March, I flew to Hanoi for work. Before that, I made a medical declaration on the web, but forgot to take a photo. I thought the data would be on the Bluezone app because this app also has a declaration section. , when I went to the airport to open the app, I knew I had to make a medical declaration from the beginning, which took time,” shared Ngoc Mai, an office worker living in Ho Chi Minh City. “On the last election day, I still had to make a medical declaration when I went to the place. I don’t understand why they didn’t let me scan the QR code that I just declared a few days ago,” said Ngoc Phuong, living in Ba Dinh district, Hanoi. said. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that anti-epidemic applications currently use a unified data store. Photo: VGP. Share with Zing , a representative of the Department of Informatization, under the Ministry of Information and Communications affirmed that the database of applications is now interconnected, helping to increase the efficiency of the applications and reduce the cumbersome for people. Why does the application need data communication? Mr. Do Lap Hien, Deputy Director of the Center for E-Government, under the Department of Informatization, explained the inconvenience when applications use independent and unconnected data. “In the past, there were cases where people declared their health on the NCOVI app, then downloaded more Bluezone to protect themselves. When going to a quarantine point, opening the health declaration function on Bluezone, there is no previously declared data. This is really inconvenient. In the opposite direction, the trace group when accessing the information of the Bluezone app, the data in the app is just the phone’s code. They have to find the corresponding information in the NCOVI or VHD database to know who and where the close contact is. This process will reduce the tracking speed,” said Mr. Hien. Anti-epidemic applications all have medical declaration functions. Data warehouse interoperability ensures this functionality works across applications. Photo: Tuan Anh. During the National Online Conference on the situation and urgent solutions to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic on the morning of May 29, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that the current anti-epidemic applications have used a unified data warehouse. . “Once synchronized, only one operation can access all information on the applications, more effective in fighting the epidemic,” Mr. Hien shared. Centrally connected IT applications, linked data. This is an important development step in the application of technology and data. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung According to the representative of the Center, when updating to the latest version, the applications will use the linked data. This is to ensure that the people’s experience is seamless and unaffected. The latest version of Bluezone will be updated on the iOS and Android app stores this week. “For citizens and users, all changes must be ‘transparent’ to them. The application must not change anything about the user experience, only more convenient, “said Mr. Hien. App data will delete itself after a month Despite being propagated about anti-epidemic applications, many users said they encountered difficulties and inconveniences when using. For example, with the Bluezone application, having to constantly turn on the Bluetooth connection makes users worry about consuming the smartphone’s battery. “I installed Bluezone since last year, but sometimes it bothers me because there are too many notifications. Also, I don’t know if the app is effective because now I don’t see the number of people exposed to almost the same amount of time,” Anh Hoang said. , working in Hanoi shared. In addition, the information that people who do not install Bluezone may be fined is also confusing. Reply Zing , a representative of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Health said that the fine or not will depend on local regulations. Bluezone application supports the process of tracing, close contact. Photo: VH. “The regulation clearly states that when going to a public place, it is mandatory to install the Bluezone application and turn on Bluetooth. If it is in a personal space, at home or in a place where there are not many people, it is not necessary. The sanction will depend on the risk or development of the epidemic in the locality. Thus, depending on the local situation, the sanction will be assigned to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities for their own consideration and decision”, said Mr. Nguyen Truong Nam, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade. Health said. Personal data will be deleted after one month of storage so that people can rest assured to comply. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung In addition, there are also concerns about the security of people’s personal information. Sharing about this issue, a representative of the Center for E-Government said that current data according to regulations will be deleted after 30 days. This number may change depending on the development of the disease and the requirements of the Ministry of Health. “Currently reserved data will be deleted after one month. When deleted, it will be completely deleted and cannot be retrieved, in order to ensure the privacy of users, “said Mr. Hien. Due to anti-epidemic requirements, many units and objects can access anti-epidemic data. However, depending on the scope and needs, these objects will have limited access. Not everyone can access the user’s data and information. In addition, according to the Minister of Information and Communications, wearable isolation monitoring devices will be deployed from June 1, immediately for workers in industrial parks. This bracelet is part of a seamless system, data will also be shared with other applications to ensure isolation. “Currently, the new bracelet solution is being tested at the request of the Ministry of Health. Regardless of the technology application, we will ensure that the data is attached to the application, which is part of the system.” representative of the Center for E-Government said.

Signing units hand over the Covid-19 epidemiological digital map system Attending the ceremony, representatives of leaders of Departments of Information and Communication, Hoa Binh Health, Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company, People’s Institute of Informatics, Hanoi Association of Informatics and Telecommunications. Epidemiological digital mapping software has been developed, upgraded and supplemented by a group of technology experts from the Covidmaps digital map to facilitate the search and update of information related to the Covid-19 epidemic. According to the supplier, the epidemiological software has optimized many upgraded features to help support communication about Covid-19. The software is also synchronized with vaccination activities such as: On-the-spot declaration at the epidemic prevention and control point; Tracing travel schedules; Accurately locate the blocked area, medical isolation. In addition, there is a notice of vaccination and vaccination points; Synthesize report data quickly and timely with an easy-to-use interface with the State management unit and the people. Epidemiology software of Hoa Binh province can be accessed at: http://Covidmaps.hoabinh.gov.vn . In the past time, the authorities of Hoa Binh province together with units have urgently installed and updated information and data to serve the construction and development of the system “Digital map of Covid-19 epidemiology”. Hoa Binh province”. By this point the Basic System is complete and ready to be put into operation. Thereby, this locality will be proactive in disease control. At the ceremony, the units signed, handed over and put into use this system.

Using the bracelet to manage people in Covid-19 isolation. Emphasizing that the need for isolation monitoring in Vietnam is very large and urgent, the Ministry of Information and Communications pointed out that it is necessary to soon introduce digital technology solutions to implement automatic monitoring, improve monitoring efficiency, and reduce the load on staff. isolation areas and functional forces. In the world, there are a number of countries that have exported solutions to monitor quarantined subjects. But the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that using available foreign solutions will lead to many limitations in mastering and customizing to suit the Vietnamese context. Buying foreign solutions is also dependent on the production capacity of partners, which can significantly affect Vietnam’s Covid-19 prevention and control plan. Through the survey, Vietnamese enterprises now also have solutions (owning technology and data stored in Vietnam) and sufficient production capacity, ready to deploy on a large scale in a short time. Proposing an option to apply a dedicated bracelet to manage people, the Ministry of Information and Communications said that this device uses GPS technology to record locations, the battery runs for 30 days, has Can send an alert if vandalism is detected or out of the quarantine area. The Ministry of Information and Communications proposed that the National Steering Committee on Covid-19 Prevention and Control assign the Ministry to assume the prime responsibility for, and direct a number of domestic enterprises to research, produce and test using the socialization budget. It is expected that the time to research and customize the product to suit the requirements and mass production in large quantities is about 4 weeks after the technical plan and policy is approved. Currently, the solution of using specialized bracelets in the prevention of Covid-19 has been applied by a number of countries and territories around the world. The two main functions of the dedicated bracelet are: Proximity detection based on Bluetooth low energy technology (with the same operating mechanism as tracing applications); Compliance checking of subjects undergoing mandatory medical isolation based on GPS positioning technology. The use of a dedicated bracelet will overcome some disadvantages such as: Users do not have or cannot use smartphones, users actively turn off Bluetooth or GPS, users do not carry smartphones with them or turn off smartphones. Depending on the needs and methods of epidemic prevention and control of each country and territory, the use of bracelets with either or both of the above technologies is prescribed. For example, Singapore has put into use both close contact detection equipment and equipment to support mandatory isolation monitoring.
