用于移动的手机的蓝牙暴露通知工具已成为支持公共卫生接触者追踪和减缓COVID-19传播的一种方式。许多国家已经推出了自己的版本的这些工具。华盛顿州的暴露通知工具WA Notify在华盛顿大学西雅图校区试点一个月后，于2020年11月30日正式上线。截至2021年4月底，该州25%的人口已激活WA Notify，是全国采用率最高的地区之一。华盛顿州成立了暴露通知咨询委员会，进行了早期试点测试，并使用了EN Express系统框架，这些都是采用该系统的重要因素。持续监测和愿意作出早期调整，如改用自动发送验证码，对提高该工具的价值也很重要。评估工作正在进行，以确定和量化WA通知的有效性，及时性和可访问性。
Bluetooth exposure notification tools for mobile phones have emerged as one way to support public health contact tracing and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Many states have launched their own versions of these tools. Washington State's exposure notification tool, WA Notify, became available on November 30, 2020, following a one-month Seattle campus pilot at the University of Washington. By the end of April 2021, 25% of the state's population had activated WA Notify, one of the highest adoption rates in the country. Washington State's formation of an Exposure Notification Advisory Committee, early pilot testing, and use of the EN Express system framework were all important factors in its adoption. Continuous monitoring and willingness to make early adjustments such as switching to automated texting of verification codes have also been important for improving the tool's value. Evaluation work is ongoing to determine and quantify WA Notify's effectiveness, timeliness, and accessibility.
