A privacy-preserving architecture is proposed, which can be mandated as a prerequisite for any facility to re-open during or after the pandemic.
BEYOND CONTACT TRACING MANUAL
By doing so, we reassure users that their contacts are only considered in places where manual contact tracing is not effective, and cease being recorded as soon as they leave the facilities they visit. Our proposal tackles the two aforementioned shortcomings by disengaging users from using their own smartphones and requiring facilities to provide the technological devices needed for contact tracing. Beyond traditional manual contact tracing, there’s been considerable buzz about the potential use of phone apps for contact tracing, particularly after Apple and Google announced last. This paper lays out the vision and guidelines for the next era of digital contact tracing, where the contact tracing functionality is moved from being personal responsibility to be the responsibility of facilities that users visit daily.

The privacy concern on the other hand comes from the fear of having a piece of technology that is monitoring us all the time, everywhere, even when contact tracing is irrelevant. Indeed, accessibility is affected by several factors such as smartphone penetration, age, or socio-economic conditions. Beyond contact: Know who, where, when and how long Determine which badged patients and staff had direct, secondary, or tertiary exposure Fast location. However, current efforts in digital contact tracing, running as mobile apps on users' smartphones, fall short in being effective and present two major weaknesses related to accessibility and apparent privacy concern augmentation. Specifically, the goal is to develop electronic contact tracing technology to blunt the spread of highly infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, at the early stages of an epidemic. Mohamed Mokbel (professor), Sofiane Abbar, Rade Stanojevic AbstractĪs pandemic wide spread results in locking down vital facilities, digital contact tracing is deemed as a key for re-opening. The goal of this project is to help better prepare the nation for the next pandemic, whose occurrence is beyond debate and just a matter of time.
