Microshare Universal Contact Tracing review
A wearable-led tracing system for facilities that need encounter records and exposure alerts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Microshare Universal Contact Tracing records proximity encounters between Bluetooth-enabled badges, key-rings or wristbands, then transfers the data through LoRaWAN infrastructure to a searchable database. Organizations can use it to trace historical contacts of people who test positive or develop symptoms and alert potentially exposed individuals. Its intended settings include factories, warehouses, hospitals, schools, prisons and retirement homes. The product is aimed at mid-market and enterprise organizations managing contact tracing across facilities where wearable devices are part of the operating environment, rather than teams seeking a smartphone-led tool.
Its central strength is a focused tracing workflow: encounter records can be searched and audited, while pseudonymized proximity data is specified to avoid personally identifiable information. Microshare dashboards provide real-time IoT data views, and a REST API plus streaming integrations can pass platform data to AWS Kinesis Data Streams, AWS SQS, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hub and Google Pub/Sub. GDPR and SOC 2 are listed. This combination may suit organizations that already work with IoT data or need tracing information to flow into existing cloud services. Buyers should account for the device and LoRaWAN requirements; this is not positioned as a tracing approach that relies on smartphones.
Microshare uses a contact-sales pricing model, so buyers need to discuss commercial terms directly with the vendor. Access is listed for web and API, with cloud and browser extension deployment options; support channels include email and documentation. The product’s scope is strongest around recording encounters, identifying contacts and sending notifications. Organizations whose primary need is deeper case-management workflows should compare alternatives with more clearly specified case-management capabilities. Choose Microshare when wearable-based tracing and integration with IoT data systems are central requirements; look elsewhere if the organization needs smartphone-based participation or a broader case-management focus.
