NOVID Pandemic Network Radar Paradigm: Flipping Contact Tracing Perspective With New Smartphone App

The NOVID smartphone application has pioneered a new paradigm to control COVID-19, which could have as profound an impact on this pandemic as the invention of radar had on modern warfare — if you can see the threat approaching, you can protect yourself.

COVID-19 is surging throughout many parts of the world, overwhelming contact tracers and existing containment methods. Even in Europe, nations are locking down, again. Existing intervention measures are demonstrably insufficient. Many projects attempted to use mobile devices to control COVID, but none saw a breakthrough. Why is that? Those tools notify people after they’re already exposed, with no warning, asking users to quarantine. This unequally impacts people who don’t have the ability to work from home during quarantine.

NOVID warns people before they have been exposed to COVID-19. Our proactive Early Warning radar shows users how far away, and how quickly the virus is spreading through their network, empowering them with accurate, up-to-date data. This aligns incentives: if you can see danger over the horizon, you can actively avoid infection by modifying your behavior. This is the first app that protects you from others, instead of protecting others from you. It’s also anonymous. NOVID collects no personal or GPS data, not even your phone number.
