- Title: ACDC-Tracing: Towards Anonymous Citizen-Driven Contact Tracing
- Authors: Kristof Roomp and Nuria Oliver
- Abstract summary: ACDC-Tracing is an anonymous, voucher-based contact tracing solution.
People who test positive are given an anonymous voucher which they can share with a limited number of people whom they think they might be infected.
This is a fully anonymous solution which does not require any sharing of location data, Bluetooth, or having an app installed on people's mobile device.

- Abstract: As we enter the control phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, many efforts have
been dedicated to developing smartphone-based contact tracing apps in order to
automatically identify people that a person with COVID-19 might have infected.
These applications while potentially useful, present significant adoption,
societal, technical and privacy challenges.
We propose ACDC-Tracing, a simpler, anonymous, voucher-based contact tracing
solution that relies on peoples' knowledge of their own close contacts. People
who test positive are given an anonymous voucher which they can share with a
limited number of people whom they think they might be infected. The recipients
can use this voucher to book a COVID-19 test and can receive their test results
without ever revealing their identity. People receiving positive result are
given vouchers to further backtrack the path of infection.
This is a fully anonymous solution which does not require any sharing of
location data, Bluetooth, or having an app installed on people's mobile device.
Moreover, ACDC-Tracing can be tested for effectiveness at a small scale without
requiring adoption by the entire population, which would enable acquiring fast
evidence about its efficacy and scalability. Finally, it is compatible with and
complementary to alternative approaches to contact tracing.

Silos [73.84437456144994]
Contact tracing is an important method to control the spread of an infectious disease such as COVID-19.
Current solutions do not utilize the huge volume of data stored in business databases and individual digital devices.
We propose BeeTrace, a unified platform that breaks data silos and deploys state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols to guarantee privacy goals.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to efforts to manage and mitigate the continued spread of the disease.
One of these efforts include the use of contact tracing to identify people who are at-risk of developing the disease through exposure to an infected person.
There has been significant interest in the development and use of digital contact tracing solutions to supplement the work of human contact tracers.
The collection and use of sensitive personal details by these applications has led to a number of concerns by the stakeholder groups with a vested interest in these solutions.

We present a survey study that examined people's willingness to install six different contact-tracing apps.
We found that the majority of people in our sample preferred to install apps that use a centralized server for contact tracing.
We also found that the majority of our sample preferred to install apps that share diagnosed users' recent locations in public places to show hotspots of infection.

Many digital solutions are being proposed for Contact Tracing Apps (CTA) to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Concerns have been raised regarding privacy, consent, uptake required in a given population, and the degree to which use of CTAs can impact individual behaviours.
We propose to build on some of the digital solutions already under development that, with addition to a Bayesian model that predicts likelihood for infection, can enable us to reach 90% of a population.
