EpiPath, a complete end-to-end Contact Tracing solution for Back-to-Work, School, and Community that’s built on Blockchain

Users have complete control over their data for uncompromised privacy and anonymity

EpiPath™ Trace — Test — Inform

EpiPath is a Back-to-Work contact-tracing Super App solution for communities, educational institutions, and enterprises with everyone’s health, safety, and privacy in mind. It utilizes Zocial’s Blockchain encryption technology to provide uncompromised privacy, security, and anonymity. The EpiPath Super App is a unification of testing and tracing that is seamlessly integrated with a social information network and health advisory portal that keeps users informed and protected. Users can access the latest social information, COVID-related news, and TV news networks. EpiPath helps remind users to socially distance themselves with proximity alerts and makes it easy for them to report symptoms, tests, and possible exposure to their workplace, school, or organization. The EpiPath Super App enables organizations and their members to access these solutions all in one place.

Back-to-Work, School, Community, an effective solution to reopening the global economy

As reported in Taiwan, contact tracing has proven to be an effective tool in fighting the spread of COVID-19 where no local transmissions have been reported for 200 days, according to Axios reports. Former Taiwanese Vice President and epidemiologist by training Chen Chien-Jen said that “very careful contact tracing and very stringent quarantines of close contacts are the best way to contain COVID-19”. EpiPath understands the importance of getting back to work for schools, enterprises, and communities. EpiPath helps businesses reopen safely when they contact trace and quickly notify members of possible exposure to quarantine. EpiPath’s contact tracing gives users real-time social proximity, proximity alert, and social exposure time.

EpiPath’s contact tracing works by sending and receiving Bluetooth (BT) signals that record anonymous contacts with other EpiPath users. When someone reports symptoms or a positive test for COVID-19, EpiPath pushes notifications to all those who were in contact with that person within the past 14 days. User information is encrypted by Zocial’s Blockchain Technology, which ensures that the user has complete and absolute control over their information. No entities, systems, or devices, including Zocial™, can access user information.

EpiPath™ Testing, Reporting, and Notifications

With EpiPath, users can report symptoms, possible exposure, and tests issued by the employer, school, or organization. Testing can be done at home or through the hospital, health clinics, or test centers and reported through the app. Users can test and report as often as required by the administrator. When a positive test for COVID-19 is reported, EpiPath pushes notifications to all users who were in contact with that person within the past 14 days and directs them to the appropriate next steps.

EpiPath™ protects the user

EpiPath is encrypted by Zocial’s Blockchain technology to ensure privacy, anonymity, and security, giving users complete control over their data for peace of mind. EpiPath does not use SIM cards or mobile numbers. It works by sending and receiving Bluetooth signals that record anonymous contacts among EpiPath users. Users are never tracked. It works entirely anonymously for uncompromised security and privacy.

The EpiPath™ Advantage

EpiPath can be customized to meet an organization’s requirements. It can be integrated with existing solutions or used as a stand-alone. Options such as digital wallet, marketplace, services, secure chat, social media, and news are available for integration.

EpiPath is a complete end-to-end solution that helps people get back to school, work, and communities with everyone’s health, safety, and privacy in mind. No user tracking. Easy to use. Peace of mind.
