How to make your office safe and functional

By the time you read this article, more than 18 million Americans will be diagnosed with having coronavirus. What’s worse, is that there is no end insight, despite the fact that two vaccines are now being used in the United States of America. It is still spreading fast in that part of the world.

America and Australia

The World Health Organisation has America, as of December 22, 2020, at 17,712,290 Coronavirus cases. That is approximately 5.5 % of the population.

Compare that to Australia where there have been 28,219 cases by the same date. That represents 0.1% of the population.

Why the contrast?

While Australia has elements of the American political system – each state has its own laws to operate under – the formation of a National Cabinet was a great decision. Having the Prime Minister and the Premiers conversing directly on a regular basis showed unity, even if some states adopted more hardened border policies than others, has proven a boon for Australia.

The immediate policies of social distancing; restricting social gatherings, reducing non-essential and encouraging people to work from home had an immediate effect.

In fact, the ability to lock down hot spots and utilise medical facilities in order for people to get tested, and the public’s willingness to undergo the

Coronavirus test has helped enormously in reducing the spread coupled with digital technology allowing tracing.

This has been one of the hallmarks of the Australian success story and even with the recent NSW outbreak, once again caused by international travellers, swift action by the state government in locking down hotspots and digitalised contract tracing has enabled the movement of individuals to be monitored and the origin of the virus to be sourced.

The ongoing testing, particularly localised testing, which limits social movement, is instrumental in keeping the spread of the virus under control.

But while the government possess these capabilities few organisations have such measures to do so.

But what if you did?

iScope Systems have developed a solution for your office that can help track respiratory illnesses that is easy to use, can be traced and will allow your business/company to keep operating with minimal disruption.

Employers and employees can simply download the GoziWave app or log onto https://gozidemo.iscope.systems/ and complete a simple cough test before answering a few questions to determine their health status.

What is GoziWave?

GoziWave enables employees to simply undertake a cough test from the comfort of their own homes, which automatically measures any respiratory infection risks.

Results are processed in the GoziWave proprietary system allowing it to be displayed in a secure dashboard. The system calculates risk profiles and if they are in a certain range, the employee can be triaged for further diagnostic testing.

Returning employees can check their respiratory infection risk levels at any time to manage and contain the spread of infection. Employers can view data in the dashboard allowing them to make more effective decisions on their COVIDSafe plans. This may include team operations, team locations and infection control procedures.

How does the process work?

There is a simple process to follow. For first time users, it is a four-step process; for repeat users only a two-step process. The great news is that it takes under two minutes from start to finish to get your results.

Step one needs you to take your temperature.

Step two involves coughing into your computer for a minimum of four seconds form the comfort of your own home. That’s right, no driving to a testing centre, queuing for hours around other people who may or may not be sick, no time off work while you lose half to a full day with all the travel and waiting required, not to mention stress.

Step three requires you to answer some simple questions regarding your recent exposure to your environment, including whether you have any symptoms.

Step four gives you your diagnosis, which can be tracked by the company. The recordings are accurate and stop a person with a potential infection from spreading the virus.

No waiting 24-48 hours, your results are known in minutes.

iScope Systems have developed this brilliant technology and it is now available to the market for all Australians, and the world, to benefit.

GoziWave allows you to keep your employees safe; your business/company operating and does the community a favour.
