Tracking
On the mailing list several applications were mentioned.
Anyone here interested in developing a COVID-19 tracking system for people like the NHS and the Chinese are doing? A system that will guarantee privacy in the best possible way while still making it possible to set alarms when you get into an infected area and can trace people back to all contacts in case of an infection?
Communication of this group is happening on Slack Channel called #tracking

A group in the UK and some people from tech companies are working on an app like this called contact tracing. React, node, typescript on top of neo4j. Below is the link to the repo for the front end. https://github.com/ContactTracing-app/Frontend The post about it is on devpost here: https://devpost.com/software/contact-tracing-with-neo4j-graphql-and-react
There is also an MIT app (android and iOS) with source code in git. I also know this is a gov effort in Spain.

Japan Hello, I’m involved in a patient-tracking project, and we have submitted a paper of this to a conference and arXiv ( [1]https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.06199 ).
We’d like to develop a mobile app that periodically checks whether an owner of a mobile phone visited any point close to known infected patients.
Patient information is usually released by local public health authorities, and we’re trying to make it to be LOD, too. Our project homepage is here (under construction) https://www.plod.info/
- There are not enough users. The apps are reliable only if there are enough users. Question: what is enough?
- False Positives: Bluetooth and Wifi get signals from devices that are further away. There wasn't actually a contact
- False Negatives: Everybody don't have mobile phones, or the app installed or they don't have bluetooth, GPS or Wifi activated
- There are many apps and they don't interoperate
- Security problems, like old Android devices that don't get security updates anymore
- Privacy problems. What information is collected and who has access to it?
