Doorway system that utilizes wearable-based health state verifications

A method for controlling a doorway, comprising:

• receiving a first signal indicative of whether there is a first user on an outside of a doorway;
• wherein the doorway facilitates passage from an inside to the outside, and/or from the outside to the inside and the doorway comprises a barrier configured to move between an opened position and a closed position;
• and wherein, when in the closed position, the barrier restricts passage through the doorway, and when in the opened position, the barrier does not restrict passage through the doorway;
• detecting based on the first signal that the first user is on the outside;
• receiving, from a first device carried and/or worn by the first user, a first indication indicating the first user is healthy;
• receiving a second signal indicative of whether there is a second user on the inside of the doorway;
• detecting based on the second signal whether the second user is on the inside;
• and
• commanding the barrier to move to the opened position and/or remain in the opened position, responsive to:
• (i) detecting that the second user is not on the inside, or (ii) detecting that the second user is on the inside and receiving, from a second device carried and/or worn by the second user, a second indication indicating the second user is healthy.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more computer programs configured to cause a processor based system to execute steps comprising:

• receiving a first signal indicative of whether there is a first user on an outside of a doorway;
• wherein the doorway facilitates passage from an inside to the outside, and/or from the outside to the inside and the doorway comprises a barrier configured to move between an opened position and a closed position;
• and wherein, when in the closed position, the barrier restricts passage through the doorway, and when in the opened position, the barrier does not restrict passage through the doorway;
• detecting based on the first signal that the first user is on the outside;
• receiving, from a first device carried and/or worn by the first user, a first indication indicating the first user is healthy;
• receiving a second signal indicative of whether there is a second user on the inside of the doorway;
• detecting based on the second signal whether the second user is on the inside;
• and
• commanding the barrier to move to the opened position and/or remain in the opened position, responsive to:
• (i) detecting that the second user is not on the inside, or (ii) detecting that the second user is on the inside and receiving, from a second device carried and/or worn by the second user, a second indication indicating the second user is healthy.
