Microshare's Universal Contact Tracing solution has been adopted globally as the centerpiece of comprehensive COVID-19 responses. Tim is an AI industry veteran with more than 25-years of developing data-driven applications for banking, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing companies.

Tim has been working on how organizations can be data-driven while allowing individuals to maintain agency and privacy in the face of higher resolution Digital Twins, created by online and offline digital measurements. Lately, this topic has become the core of the public's reaction to Contact Tracing as a key component of COVID-19 response. How can businesses use surveillance tools to allow a safer return to work without alienating either their staff or customers? What should individuals be prepared to sacrifice in exchange for greater well-being in the face of the pandemic and beyond?
