The covid-19 sympton tracker app was brought online a week ago, it has had a little publicity and definitely not the amount it deserves.
It has been produced by scientists working at King's College university and Guys and St Thomas hospital trust.
Please download the app and start reporting daily, it's takes only a few minutes to set up, requires no personal data and will save lives..
It's tricky to find in the app store as it's new, even so, around 2 million people have downloaded it so far...
You can find it if you search on Google, etc. Due to forum rules I cannot add the site address.
BBC news reported on the 25th March- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52033210
The team behind it produced a Webinar on Monday which is on YouTube - https://youtu.be/VD1oNX_L6eU
It's a little dry but gives great context into the ongoing situation and what they want to achieve by using the app...
This is early days for them, 1 week in fact, and they need as many people as possible to help, by reporting daily, whether you are well or have any symptoms, they are able to track the spread more accurately and help the health service plan better in fighting this pandemic.
Please pass this on to your friends, family, neighbours, anybody... the more people that do the daily updates, the better the scientists working on this can understand how to deal with Covid 19.
Monday, the app went live in the US, you guys can now start reporting within the US too.
Please pass this on...  |
