IoT blockchain platform Nodle launches Coalition COVID-19 contact tracing app – Ledger Insights – enterprise blockchain
Yesterday, decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) startup Nodle.io launched Coalition, a contact tracing application to contain the spread of COVID-19. The company says the app preserves user privacy.
Coalition will use Nodle’s Bluetooth Low Energy-powered network to communicate with nearby devices. Once a user downloads the app and turns on Bluetooth, the app will record anonymous encounters with other Coalition users nearby. For privacy, these encounters are stored locally on the phone.
