NextTrace

NextTrace aims to coordinate test results and contact tracing to enable public health decisions

Social distancing, if widely adopted, works. Unfortunately, it's unsustainable. If we continue distancing, it may devastate our economy and society. But if we stop before a vaccine is ready, it will cause a rebound in infections because not enough of us are immune.

We can manage this epidemic through contact tracing and isolation, at scale, using modern technology. But it will require coordination and rapid innovation.

Here's how we plan to do it

A massive rollout of diagnostic and serological testing is on its way. We will help curate that data and build tools that guide targeted interventions. We will do this collaboratively, working with existing efforts and sharing best practices as we go.

Test

We will help organize and surface diagnostic and serological data, working with commercial, state, and academic testing labs.

Trace

We will scope and build software for digital participatory contact tracing to find and isolate cases earlier in their course of illness.

Guide

We will deliver models and best practices to state and local decision makers to inform containment policies at the community level.
