Every Android phone used millions of times already contains all the required technical components: a positioning sensor (GPS tracker), a microphone, a loudspeaker, a battery and – with a suitable app – the possibility of voice recording. 1040x

This proven technology must now be consistently further developed and miniaturized by the federal government – into a specialized personal tracker which, in its form and function, resembles a modern in-ear hearing device (similar to an Apple earbud).

In concrete terms this means:

• integrated microphone for voice communication

• energy-efficient voice recording using VCA technology

• automatic voice transmission, however exclusively when in immediate proximity to a MEDIFACT external station

• stable radio connection for reliable reception of MEDIFACT instructions

• contactless operation without buttons or manual handling

• powerful battery with a reliable operating time of at least 10 hours (one full working shift)

The objective is an independent device that can also be worn in the ear, integrating in highly compact form the technology already available in today’s smartphones and specifically optimized for professional use within the MEDIFACT system.
