自COVID-19疫情开始以来，技术爱好者推动数字接触者追踪作为打破COVID-19传播链的关键工具。在这一推动下，许多国家和公司开发了支持数字接触追踪的应用程序，目的是识别从感染者到其他人的传播链，并实现早期隔离。印度的AarogyaSetu、新加坡的TraceTogether、瑞士的SwissCovid等数字接触追踪应用程序已被下载数亿次。然而，这项技术还没有看到我们在大流行开始时所设想的影响。一些国家已经回滚了他们的应用程序，而另一些国家的采用率较低[12，17]。因此，谨慎的做法是询问联系人追踪的技术前景是什么样的，缺少哪些部分。我们试图在本文中承担这一任务。我们提出了一个高层次的审查技术的基础数字联系人追踪，一组指标，这是重要的，而评估不同的联系人追踪技术，并评估不同的技术站在今天这组指标。我们有两个希望：（a）接触者追踪应用程序的未来设计者可以使用这篇评论论文来了解技术前景，并且（B）研究人员可以识别并解决这个难题中缺失的部分，以便我们做好准备面对剩余的问题COVID-19大流行和任何未来的大流行。大部分讨论集中在识别个体之间联系的能力上。这种接触追踪的伦理、隐私和安全问题被简要提及，但没有详细讨论。
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, technology enthusiasts have pushed for digital contact tracing as a critical tool for breaking the COVID-19 transmission chains. Motivated by this push, many countries and companies have created apps that enable digital contact tracing with the goal to identify the chain of transmission from an infected individual to others and enable early quarantine. Digital contact tracing applications like AarogyaSetu in India, TraceTogether in Singapore, SwissCovid in Switzerland, and others have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. Yet, this technology hasn't seen the impact that we envisioned at the start of the pandemic. Some countries have rolled back their apps, while others have seen low adoption [12, 17]. Therefore, it is prudent to ask what the technology landscape of contact-tracing looks like and what are the missing pieces. We attempt to undertake this task in this paper. We present a high-level review of technologies underlying digital contact tracing, a set of metrics that are important while evaluating different contact tracing technologies, and evaluate where the different technologies stand today on this set of metrics. Our hope is two fold: (a) Future designers of contact tracing applications can use this review paper to understand the technology landscape, and (b) Researchers can identify and solve the missing pieces of this puzzle, so that we are ready to face the rest of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future pandemics. A majority of this discussion is focused on the ability to identify contact between individuals. The questions of ethics, privacy, and security of such contact tracing are briefly mentioned but not discussed in detail.
