数字技术的广泛和密集使用是国际应对COVID-19疫情的重要特征。其中一类特别有趣的技术是通过蓝牙技术收集接近数据的专用联系人和跟踪应用程序。在本文中，我考虑了两个国家应用程序的开发，部署和想象中的用途：新加坡，该领域的先驱，其TraceTogether应用程序，以及澳大利亚，一个改编新加坡应用程序的国家，设计了自己的COVIDSafe，作为危机早期国家公共卫生战略的关键。这些案例中特别有趣的是应用程序引起的隐私问题，以及每个国家如何处理这些问题，以及每个国家通过这样的应用程序重新想象其直接的社会未来和健康方法的方式。
Widely and intensively used digital technologies have been an important feature of international responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. One especially interesting class of such technologies are dedicated contact and tracing apps collecting proximity data via the Bluetooth technology. In this article, I consider the development, deployment and imagined uses of apps in two countries: Singapore, a pioneer in the field, with its TraceTogether app, and Australia, a country that adapted Singapore’s app, devising its own COVIDSafe, as key to its national public health strategy early in the crisis. What is especially interesting about these cases is the privacy concerns the apps raised, and how these are dealt with in each country, also the ways in which each nation reimagines its immediate social future and health approach via such an app.
