The availability of an effective vaccine may be delayed indefinitely, (18 months being an optimistic estimate), requiring generalised quarantine measures for everyone. At the same time, health authorities are making efforts to improve testing on the population for better epidemiological monitoring.

The Open Coronavirus project offers, during this time, a digital solution for monitoring, diagnosis and containment of SARS-CoV-2 infections that enables application of quarantine measures to focus areas, thus minimizing overall quarantine duration, and reducing the strain on the health systems while facilitating a potential return to normality as soon as possible.

The system will rely on three applications:

  • Citizen App. Collaborative Mobile app to control spread of SARS-CoV-2.

    The application allows you to request a test, and receive the ensuing results. Will be made possible by a personalised QR code to identify the user.

    Anonymous cross paths of the user (with Bluetooth Low Energy) will be logged into his mobile to control possible infections and to enable SARS-CoV-2 monitoring by health authorities.

  • Centralised Data Management Software (coming soon) where health & epidemiologic control authorities will track the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

  • Authorities App. Mobile app enabling authorities to read the users' QR codes where needed, as well as tracking the users' mobility.
Example of the three applications for different types of users

Important A Medicine and Bioethics team of experts from Oxford University talk about the need to develop this type of application: http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-03-17-infectious-disease-experts-provide-evidence-coronavirus-mobile-app-instant-contact
