KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Nov. 5, 2020 - Lumen Touch™, an education leader that provides K-12 schools with an all-in-one seamless technological solution designed to save teachers and schools time and money, has enhanced Bright CARE ™, their integrated student medical health management system, with COVID-19 contact tracing and temperature tracking capabilities.
"As students began returning to classrooms around the country, we heeded the call from schools to provide a safe and secure method for managing COVID-19 tracking, tracing, and symptom checking," explained Dr. John Vandewalle, owner and CEO of Lumen Touch. "Our partnership with Tesseract Ventures not only provides a safe and secure solution for the immediate need but will also allow schools, parents, and students to detect and amplify opportunities for academic and professional success, without putting private data at risk."
Schools across the country have been mandated to not only bring students back to classrooms but also to comply with reporting requirements regarding COVID-19 tracking and tracing. The pressure on schools to meet these mandates while still protecting student data and maintaining confidentiality has been enormous. School boards and leadership can now work with Lumen Touch and Tesseract to monitor students and staff and carry out contact tracing. The tools available through Bright CARE include:
Temperature tracking and contact tracing
Tracking of COVID-19 testing
Monitoring and alerting on social distancing
Summary of medical conditions and injuries
District-wide summary of immunization error dates
Immunization summary by type and exemption report (to include COVID-19 vaccination)
By integrating Tesseract's PRISM™ technology, Lumen Touch provides schools with an accurate tracking system that utilizes wearable badges to collect attendance, proximity, and wellness data. The badges prioritize student safety without compromising student privacy, by shielding the individuals' data from anyone without proper authorization.
"We are excited for the opportunity to introduce our next-generation technology as part of Lumen Touch's Bright CARE Solution," said John Boucard, founder and CEO, Tesseract Ventures. "The flexibility our collaboration provides clients will be critical in managing the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 and the affect it will likely have on future operations."
Beyond COVID-19, this collaboration will provide schools with insightful data as well as a credible reporting system for individual students regarding their academic progress, medical history, extracurricular achievements, and more. Students and parents can rely on personalized data from private and verifiable electronic portfolios to address future academic and professional career development, while educators may aggregate group data in order to make insightful decisions regarding curriculum and operations management.
