In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments around the world have turned to app developers to help combat the virus. A number of these apps were developed for the purpose of digital contact tracing, and can be useful in alleviating some of the time and resources that would otherwise need to be spent on manual tracing efforts. However, privacy concerns have been a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of these apps.
The majority of the apps examined (14 out of 25) offered remote assistance through video communication and instant messaging, with some also supporting self-assessment tests to identify symptomatic individuals. A few applications also provide warning notifications on a regular basis about new affected geographical regions. Moreover, some of these apps allow users to scan their own QR codes for contract tracing purposes.
Several apps offer information regarding preventive guidelines suggested by the ministry of health, WHO, or other authentic bodies. Additionally, some apps focus on identifying at-risk individuals and providing them with instructions on how to stay at self-isolation.
A few of these apps allow people to verify their COVID-19 vaccination status by scanning their QR code or using a photo taken within the application. This can be especially helpful to individuals who have been displaced from their homes due to the ongoing pandemic. A few of these apps also have a curated news tab that provides the latest updates on the pandemic.
