This project is a mobile application designed to support contact tracing and provide a digital pandemic response; it is sponsored by the PathCheck Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to stopping COVID-19.
This project is open-source; a global community of engineers, designers, and volunteers have contributed to making this project a reality.
This project uses the Google Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) protocol to facilitate digital contact tracing.
The PathCheck Foundation has a strong commitment to privacy and security. We're building an application that can help contain outbreaks of COVID-19 while maintaining the highest standards for protecting user privacy.
