Hi all, I have met Dhruv some time back and have discussed the infrastructure required by the solution. It still involves the installation of special devices that emit signals that are caught by the mobile phone's Bluetooth radio.
The concept is good and the implementation is impressive. However, my usual question is who is going to pay and maintain the infrastructure? Electronic components degrade, electricity is not of the best quality so there can be issues with the devices etc. You could of course treat these devices like smoke detectors and maintain them the same way but as far as I know, we do not have any mandatory audits to check such infrastructure like you are beginning to have with safety infrastructure. Pranav Time to meet up again!
