2020: Visitors to Thailand are about to wear a Covid-19 watch bracelet

In addition to the navigation system, the bracelet can also monitor the temperature, heart rate .. and assisting the user in handling a variety of problems, such as requesting special assistance from a medical quarantine program, asking for directions when lost.

The Ministry of Social and Digital Economy Thailand , in collaboration with several Thai startups, is developing "smart bracelets". This plan has been approved by the cabinet.

This device will be broadcast to each international visitor to Thailand in Covid-19. It can track location, measure body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. If a tourist has a body temperature higher than 37.5 degrees Celsius, the bracelet will immediately report to the nearest functional force for medical assistance.

Smart bracelets will initially be distributed to a limited group of visitors under the special tourist visa program from November 1 onwards. It is not clear how long a traveler must wear the bracelet, or the additional costs associated with the device.
