NOVID (app)
NOVID is a COVID-19 contact tracing app developed by Po-Shen Loh, an American mathematician.[1]
How it works[edit]
NOVID utilizes Bluetooth and ultrasound technology to track COVID-19 infections.[2] Specifically, NOVID tracks infections anonymously by utilizing information about cell phone locations. Furthermore, NOVID utilizes the "six degrees of separation" technique to trace contacts; in fact, NOVID uses 12 of such degrees. If anyone that uses the NOVID app has a positive COVID-19 test, the app will notify users that they are nearby a person who has a COVID-19 infection. [3]
Accuracy[edit]
As of June 2020, NOVID has shown a 99.8% accuracy rate in tracing COVID-19 cases.[2]
