Leeds Lifeband - COVID-19 - saving lives, proposing living

独家使用基于智能手机的应用程序有可能在数字上排斥特定的社会亚群(老年人、弱势群体和弱势群体、青年)。人口覆盖面的这种差距将加剧这些群体的风险，并严重破坏NHS方案的全面性。该项目将解决NHS/PHE接触者追踪智能手机应用程序产生的这些数据差距，提供廉价、低技术和高度安全的腕带替代方案，提供更全面的感染率；以及老年人和学龄儿童等人口群体面临的风险；如果征得同意，位置/邻近数据还将使使用大规模数据分析进行研究、分析和建模成为可能。这将产生流行病学洞察，例如不同的人口亚群如何受到COVID的影响；政府指南如何创造背景挑战或机会，以及当地缓解措施的有效性。腕带技术具有潜在的用途--超越直接跟踪背景的情况，例如为智能城市规划提供信息，并减少环境/更广泛的人口健康负担(Cottril和Drible，2015)。该项目将在恢复过程中支持区域经济，因为只有感染者及其接触者将需要隔离。

The exclusive use of a smartphone-based application risks the digital exclusion of particular societal sub-groups (older people, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, youth). Such gaps in population coverage will compound risk to these groups and seriously undermine the comprehensiveness of the NHS programme. This project will address these gaps in data arising from the NHS/PHE contact tracing smartphone application by providing a cheap, low-tech and highly secure wristband alternative providing a more complete picture of infection rates; and risks to (and from) population groups such as older people and school childrenBy consent, the location/proximity data will also enable research, analysis and modelling using large-scale data analytics. This will generate epidemiological insights such as how different population sub-groups are impacted by COVID; how government guidelines create contextual challenges or opportunities, and the effectiveness of local mitigation measures.The wristband technology has potential use-cases beyond the immediate tracing context, for example informing smart-city planning and reducing environmental/broader population health burdens (Cottril and Derrible, 2015). The project will support the regional economy in the process of recovery, given that only infected individuals and their contacts will need to quarantine.
