论文摘要
我们提出了一种移动应用解决方案，以通过跟踪潜伏期可能的感染来帮助遏制流行病爆发。我们考虑了一种特殊的感染情况，该病例主要通过近端接触通过呼吸液滴传播。该智能手机应用程序将脱机工作，并能够近距离检测其他设备，并以匿名和加密的方式列出所有交互。如果应用程序用户的测试为阳性，并因此被认证为受感染，则该应用程序会立即通知列表中设备的潜在传染，并建议开始自愿隔离并进行医疗测试。我们认为，该解决方案在当前的Covid-19大流行中可能特别有用，此外，可以将来用于防止类似事件。
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.
