Schools in the Czech Republic launched student testing with TrustOne
Returning students to schools safely is an important element of restarting the economy. As digital education often requires certain level of presence by parents, several country governments are seeking for ways to restart onsite education.
But education within schools means increased risk for spreading the coronavirus. Governments around the world are testing various approaches to mitigate this risk. Besides social distancing and precautionary measures, repeated mass testing of students and teachers enables schools to monitor efficiently the appearance of the virus within the classes.
The Czech Republic is piloting mass student testing in two schools in Prague, the country’s capital. The schools are using TrustOne’s blockchain based solution to register the students, and track the Covid-19 testing information from sampling to test results.
The solution contains special grouping features for classes, and strict protocols in case a positive result came back from the lab. TrustOne also provides strict data privacy features, and manages the special requirements in consent declaration in case of students under 18 years old.
Blockchain technology enables trusted and transparent digital tools to register, store, and share testing information with the stakeholders. The real world relevance, use cases, adoption, technical capabilities, and network efficiency of the TrustChain enables TrustOne to work on projects with such growth potential. There are almost 1 million elementary school students in the Czech Republic, which might need to be tested regularly in order to roll out the back-to-school initiative safely. There are just a few blockchain platforms which are able to support such volumes. TrustChain, one of the top 15 blockchains in the world is one of them.
TrustOne CZ implemented the project, as well as provides training and support for the teachers.
TrustOne is a mass testing management solution by TE-FOOD. TrustOne enables organizations to manage medical screening of their employees, guests, and passengers efficiently, to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.
