我们提供了一个移动应用程序解决方案,通过跟踪疾病潜伏期中可能的感染,帮助遏制疫情爆发。 我们考虑一个主要通过近端接触,通过呼吸道飞沫在人群中传播的感染的特殊病例。 这个智能手机应用程序将离线工作,并将能够检测其他设备接近,并以一个匿名和加密的方式列出所有的互动范围。 如果一个应用程序用户被检测出阳性,因此被认定为感染,应用程序会立即通知列表中的设备潜在的传染,并建议开始自愿隔离和进行医学测试。 我们认为,这一解决办法可能对目前的大流行病尤其有用,而且可用于防止今后发生类似事件。
原文题目:Proximity: a recipe to break the outbreak
原文:We present a mobile app solution to help the containment of an epidemic outbreak by keeping track of possible infections in the incubation period. We consider the particular case of an infection which primarily spreads among people through proximal contact, via respiratory droplets. This smartphone application will work offline and will be able to detect other devices in close proximity and list all the interactions in an anonymous and encrypted way. If an app user is tested positive and so is certified as infected, the application notifies immediately the potential contagion to the devices in the list and suggests to start a voluntary quarantine and undergo a medical test. We believe this solution may be useful in particular in the current COVID-19 pandemic and moreover could be used to prevent similar events in the future.
