CONTROL & CONTAIN

CHALLENGE

What can be done to avoid a COVID resurgence, once the current drastic measures are relaxed?

Asymptomatic COVID carriers

Even after an apparent suppression of the pandemic, there will still be asymptomatic COVID carriers who may pass it to others who probably (>20% probability) also will not show symptoms.

COVID propagating exponentially

Without restrictions COVID is propagating exponentially and grows by a factor of 3.

Contacts tracked, tested and isolated

To track this is impossible without digital help, as already demonstrated in every country so far.

Scenarios

Depending on the decision made after the number of cases drops following scenarios are posible.

No containment is performed

Only physical measures are used

Digital containment with non-GDPR and less sophisticated algorithms takes place

COCOVID App

COCOVID

A free and open initiative of European companies and institutions based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and digital technology to contain the virus resurgence while respecting Data Sovereignty.

WHY COCOVID?

WEEK 1

Not infected

Infected before showing sypmtoms

Infected with symptons

Asymptomatic (will never show symptons)

WEEK 2

Without containment methods, an infected person will infect three other persons per week. Infected persons transmit the virus even before showing symptoms. More than 20% of the infected persons do not show symptoms at all (asymptotic infected person).

WEEK 3

To reduce the spread of the virus, it is necessary to find all infected persons, even those not showing symptoms. COCOVID uses anonymous data (GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM) to track the spread of the virus.

BENEFITS

The app was designed to protect you and your contacts. It will keep you informed, will advice you about a potential risk and guide you to a COVID19 test center if recommended.

Made in Europe, respecting European Data Privacy Legislation.

Bluetooth LE and 3D GPS technologies allow accurate risk estimations.

WHAT IS STORED?

Tracking data only stored locally on the app

Tracking data only stored if user stationary (100m radius) for more than 15 minutes.

Anonymized Bluetooth LE data is only stored locally if detected for longer than 15 minutes.

Anonymized data is sent to the server for real time analysis without being stored.

After explicit permission by the user risk relevant data is stored on the secure central server. This data will only be used to prevent future infections

HOW DOES IT WORK?

01

The app will analyze your risk using your anonymized data. While no risk is detected, you can keep on with your life.

02

Only if a risk is detected, the app will ask for additional information. The data will only be transmitted after your approval.

03

In case the detailed analysis reveals a high level of risk, the app will recommend you to get tested and if you approve it will schedule the test for you.

04

The app will inform you about the test result
