Nice initiative but you'll struggle to publish the app on the app store and Google play(mildly put) with all their restrictions in relation to COVID19.

I wonder if there is a way to engineer our past that in the first month.

Maybe a web-based PWA while we wait for approval.

And not specifically calling it a COVID-19 app.

I am one of the founders at Luma Health. We may be able to help you out. We could offer app less way of following patients and getting responses from them. Here is a short video on what is possible: https://youtu.be/escWi-ZuGRo

It looks like you send an automated text to a questionnaire. That’s a much simpler way to start, and a text is a great “push notification”... :-)

Email is in my profile. We launched a citizen science app that already handles thousands of participants in our first two studies. Lots of alignment with where you’re going, and at the very least we can offer some advice.

Emailed. Thank you.

I am in fact with Google and Apple on this one - just don't. There's way too much misinformation and speculation already. Not necessarily a result of malintent, just the way sensations work these days as a result of the cattle mentality demonstrated by the masses I'm afraid.

For many years I've been strongly opposing the so-called "wisdom of the masses".
