Covid-19: Infosys partners Rhode Island to launch contact tracing solution

Infosys is partnering with Rhode Island in launching a privacy-first contact tracing solution to help people and state officials slow the spread of coronavirus as part of the state’s effort to safely reopen businesses while reducing occurrences of community transmission.

The company has developed a mobile app that will help Rhode Islanders follow required health and safety guidelines, monitor their own activities and support the Rhode Island Department of Health by providing accurate data with user consent.

The application called Crush COVID RI will utilise Infosys’ location-based services platform to create individualised location diaries while protecting user privacy.
