There was some AI computer vision software that could process video from humans and deduce the heartrate with high accuracy. A similar software like this Apple watch thingie could measure our heart rate through the web cams we have at our laptops.

#24An increased resting heart rate can be caused by many things, and we have no false negative/positive rate for increased heart rate wrt this virus. Whilst the intention is good, this app will end up sending many more people to hospitals, doctors, and pharmacists than necessary, furthering the straing on the healthcare system.

The mic could monitor for coughing frequency.

#26I knew i had COV-19, so I logged everything.
Friday (contraction of virus) to Tuesday (first symtoms) my RHR tanked each day incrementally from 62 all the way to 50. on Wednesday when my fever kicked in, RHR jumped to 64.
Re: Track infections through resting heart rate
#27Infections raise resting heart rate. so resting heart rate is a good indicator of an infections. I've made an app that collect heart rate data from the apple watch and posts it to a public server together with an approximate location. Data is anonymized. Apple rejected the app, since it relates to human subject research and need IRB approval. The app and backend are open source. If anyone want to push this through th…
Bloody bureaucrats. Is there some way you could get a recognized institution to back you? I'll tweet out a request see if someone is willing to take it up.
It’s not unreasonable for Apple to demand similar steps.

In most countries it takes way more ethics work than “you installed the app yourself” to get a human study approved. It’s not unreasonable for Apple to demand similar steps.
Last I checked, "ethics" were supposed to protect life, not uphold some arbitrary abstract standard while people died by the raft loads.
But pay me no mind. I learned my ethics from military culture which deals with life and death routinely. So I might have some weird ideas about upholding the value of life as sacred or something.

But for some reason as a society we will let people sky dive, horseback ride, smoke cigarettes, or get raging drunk for any reason, but if it's for research we won't let subjects consent to even the risk of filling out a survey without IRB approval.
