How Hemi’s Rebel Entrepreneurs Are Tackling COVID-19 in Their Own Ways
The latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 19, 2020, stated that the global number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 had surpassed 200,000.
Headline news has impressed upon us the importance of self-quarantining to prevent the continued spread of this virus. People are washing their hands longer, sanitizing surfaces, and avoiding contact with others. Consumers are stocking up, employees are working from home, and businesses are being forced to close their doors.
There is no way to know exactly how long this will continue and what the long-term impacts will be on our lives. Fortunately, technology has allowed us to remain connected, whether its Facetiming with family or Skyping for work.
While much of the world is hunkered down, waiting for this to pass, Hemi’s rebel entrepreneurs are still hard at work. Some are working on technologies to help us get through this pandemic, and others are working technologies that will help us move industries forward.
Here, we take a look at what our Hemi rebels are doing to limit the spread of Covid-19.

Alcatraz AI is automating security with artificial intelligence. Their tools replace badging as an access point identification method by leveraging facial recognition, 3D sensing, and artificial intelligence to enable highly secure and frictionless entry into physical locations. Real-time 3-D facial mapping avoids anyone using a photograph, video, or mask to spoof the system and confirms there is a real person that matches the stored facial image.
In a time when people are worried about touching contaminated surfaces, a badgeless system eliminates contact points that could transfer germs and disease. If your building may need such deployment, reach out to contact@alcatraz.ai.
