Despite the prevalence of smartphones throughout the world, scientific studies on digital technology, especially those concerning smartphone use, have been limited. As a result, the capacity of digital tools to rapidly detect and trace the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and evaluate treatment response remains largely unknown.
Passive screening apps analyze objective-type biosensor information from wearable devices, which requires minimal individual involvement and could identify subclinical SARS-CoV-2 infections. The Digital Engagement and Tracking for Early Control and Treatment study used hybrid apps that relied on digital sensors to obtain data on resting heart rate and other variables and information from questionnaires completed by participants.
Related StoriesCentralized apps like Health Code, Aarogya Setu, TraceTogether, and COVIDSafe have also been developed; however, many of these apps have not met their targets. Apps such as the Safer-Covid and Health Code provide individual-level risk evaluation to enhance adherence to NPIs, such as social distancing, mask-wearing, isolation, and increased testing.
