The performance tests of the Cercadti anticovid chip continue, which is being developed in Asturias by Red Táctica and ADN Mobile Solutions. The device is associated by bluetooth technology with an identity document and records in the memory the data of other users who have been less than two meters away for a period of time. Yesterday it was tested during the Spanish exam of the Cervantes Institute, which was held at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of the University of Oviedo and which was attended by fifty people.

In addition to facilitating traceability in the event of a positive, Almudena Redondo, project development director, highlighted the small pendant that will avoid creating “social alarm” since it helps to eliminate unnecessary worries by determining at all times the proximity and contact time of the users.

The measure caught those examined by surprise, who, like Diana Sánchez or Elida Colma, were unaware of the existence of this technology. “If it has to be done, it will be done,” Colma said. Sánchez was calm, “I have already had tests done, but this is good,” said the resident in Siero.

And for those concerned about their data, Redondo stressed that the chip “does not geolocate”, others, the information collected that is not used is erased in a month. Such is the acceptance of the device that is already sold as company PPE and is being requested throughout the country for all kinds of meetings.
