Necessity is the mother of invention, goes the old saying. In line with the adage, four young enterprising IT geeks, have tweaked their existing IT solution to come up with a new tracking app that can be used by authorities to track those in quarantine.
The start-up, Pinmicro, which has an office at Infopark here, is based out of Japan, by now have received enquiries from various government authorities about their app- Assistplus and meTrack.

“Our existing solution was to monitor the time spent by people inside facilities such as hospitals and factories or by guests in front of a pavilion during an event, to analyse their interest. We added a few more components to it to develop meTrack,” said Kuruvila.
The Indian CEO of Pinmicro, A.V. Ravindranath said meTrack helps to track and locate quarantined people with the help of a Smartphone application and a smart-band.
” It also offers a web console that provides health administrators with dashboards to monitor all quarantine activities real-time. The platform integrates multiple technologies including GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth to ensure that the system is reliable and foolproof,” said Ravindranath.
