Herald Version 2.2.0 Released
We are pleased to announce the publication of an open source, reliable, Bluetooth protocol called ‘Herald’, and our Fair Efficacy Formula to enable the measurement and improvement of all contact tracing applications.
The Herald protocol will be of use to those developing Contact Tracing applicatins, and any other applications requiring reliable pair-wise bluetooth communication between mobile devices. This overcomes many of the issues present in existing contact tracing apps and Bluetooth approaches on mobile devices.
