Application of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS Technologies in the Means of Contact Tracking

The spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19, is a complex epidemiological situation that is exacerbated by strong transcontinental migration processes that pose a potential threat to human health worldwide. This requires the implementation of a set of tasks aimed at full control over the risks and threats to human life. Modern information technology can be useful in solving a number of scientific and technical problems related to the use of cyberspace for global population monitoring, ie when monitoring and tracking contacts can predict possible adverse scenarios and prevent the spread of emergencies and crises, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic. A high overall level of e-society can keep epidemics and pandemics at the national and international levels under control. Global solutions to build monitoring systems to prevent the spread of infectious diseases already exist and are evolving rapidly. This section analyzes, explores and substantiates the possibility of using various information technologies (eg, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.) in contact tracking tools as the main subsystem of global population monitoring. In particular, the principles of construction and the possibility of using these technologies to track contacts are studied. Their advantages and disadvantages, potential attacks on monitoring programs, etc. are analyzed.
