Corona-Warn-Buzzer

Interrupt infection chains of the corona virus at an early stage using electronic contact tracing that fully complies with data protection requirements

YOUR Smart Alternative to the Corona-Warn-App

As a smart alternative to the Corona-Warn-App, the Corona-Warn-Buzzer also enables those who either do not own a smartphone or only an older model on which the Corona-Warn-App cannot be installed to participate in electronic contact tracing.

Fully compatible

The full compatibility of the Corona-Warn-Buzzer with the Corona-Warn-App means that the two systems can work together to trace infection chains more comprehensively and interrupt them at an early stage. Thus, the Corona-Warn-Buzzer will in future also function in all countries in which the official Corona-Warn-App can also record encounters.

Warning by means of self-explanatory LED signal, sound and vibration

The Corona-Warn-Buzzer registers via Bluetooth how long corona warning devices come close to each other and for how long. These devices can be other Corona-Warn-Buzzers, but also smartphones with an installed and active Corona-Warn-App. If someone tests positive and releases their collected, anonymous Bluetooth codes for sending ("uploading") to the corona warning backend by pressing a button, they are stored there in a list of positive codes. The corona warning devices retrieve this list and compare locally whether an encounter has taken place. The risk of infection is then calculated depending on the distance and duration of the movement, and contact persons are notified if a risk is detected.
If there is an increased risk, the indicator on the Corona-Warn-Buzzer lights up red. In this case, it is strongly recommended to go home or stay in isolation and coordinate further action with the public health department or a doctor. In addition to encounters with increased risk, the Corona-Warn-Buzzer also indicates encounters with lower risk. Very short encounters, for example. The warning LED on the device then lights up orange. In this case, the person concerned does not have to do anything other than continue to adhere to the generally applicable hygienic and distance rules.

This is how the Corona-Warn-Buzzer works

Trace infection chains at any time, anonymously and in line with data protection requirements

Whether high or low risk, the Corona-Warn-Buzzer offers users the highest possible protection of their personal data. Since the device cannot be assigned to anyone personally, the tracking of encounters and infection chains is completely anonymous. The Corona-Warn-Buzzer does not indicate when an encounter took place. Because with date and time, in many cases one would know very precisely to whom a reported risk encounter is to be assigned. During the entire period of use, the Corona-Warn-Buzzer does not assign any personal data. Thus, users can be sure that they remain completely anonymous despite their use. Random codes stored on the Corona-Warn-Buzzers from encounters with other warning devices are automatically deleted after 14 days. Reporting one's own infection can also be done completely anonymously.
