Overview

We bring together bright minds to solve tomorrow's problems. Corona Analytica Institute presents Corona Check — the most effective privacy-preserving exposure notification solution to suppress pandemic outbreaks quickly and limit future lockdowns. Society needs a solution to coexist with COVID-19 and avoid social and economic meltdown. Our approach has been developed focusing on the value created for the key stakeholders. We track risk, rather than proximity. We give, rather than taking. We trigger mass adoption, rather than assuming it upfront. Our smart approach allows us to be more effective than alternative solutions that are currently being discussed in Europe, as we are able to have a huge impact even when population’s adoption is low. The ability to be effective with lower adoption levels makes the difference: we save more lives. If a user has been exposed to a risk in the past 14 days, he receives a notification. Being notified, the user can take appropriate actions to prevent further transmission and protect his family, his friends and the local community. Our solution preserves users’ privacy as we do not take their location history. Personal data are encrypted and stored on the edge. Users’ location histories never leave their own devices. Data are constantly deleted after 14 days. We value our users’ privacy upmost. We only process data from consenting COVID-19 current positive individuals (usually less than 0.01% of the population). We do not track normal users nor positive patients. In fact, positive patients just donate anonymously a snapshot of their past two weeks which will be used to prevent the pandemic to spread further and save many lives. Eventually, we just store information about the risk associated to encrypted location and how it changes over time. No one knows where the risk was, not even us! Our approach creates real value for the users (99,99+% of the population) without asking anything in return.
