Digital Solutions with proximity / GEO-tracking for COVID-19
As part of our COVID-19 Horizon Collaboration
Can a ‘simple app’ with data-privacy controls become a significant measure to manage the pandemic?
According to the Pepp-PT organization more than 40 countries are considering implementing a proximity app based on their concept. Both Italy and Germany are considering as significant measures to address the process of exiting the lock-down. The initial models by the scientists and the user feedback would suggest that it may be a rather feasible alternative.
In this initial webinar we are going to address:
- Brief introduction to the concept to proximity tracking
- Citizen feedback about the acceptability of the use of such solutions
- First hand experience from Iceland about the use of GEO-tagging to track disease.
Speakers:
- Ingi Steinar Ingasson, EMBÆTTI LANDLÆKNIS, Iceland
- Dr Daniele Nosenzo, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom
