UpHealth anonymously records your movements, along with millions of others.
So if someone you have been in contact with has COVID-19 symptoms or tested positive for the virus, you will be instantly notified.
Even if you crossed paths up to 7 days ago. You might not even know who they were. But UpHealth will let you know that *someone* has developed symptoms and you should self isolate.
While you self-isolate, you can record your temperature and answer a few simple medical questions twice daily.
The questionnaire has been developed with a leading medical institution and doctors’ advice.
If you start to develop symptoms,
medical authorities will be ready to assess and assist.
The UpHealth app makes it easy for you and others to share the app for others to download.
The “share” functionality on the app will allow you to send a link to download the UpHealth app (for Android phones) directly via email, Facebook messenger, Instagram direct message, to your family members, friends and loved ones.
More features of UpHealth will continue to be added to the app as we continue to find out about what is needed to help
everyone in the community.
Instant notifications,
self-isolation virtual
assistance and more are planned.
With UpHealth, we can all keep each other safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We believe in technology that can keep you safe during this pandemic while still protecting your privacy. How does UpHealth do that?
When you install the UpHealth app on your phone, a random unique is automatically assigned to your phone. Then you can use the app. No personal information is requested.
While you have UpHealth running, the app uses Bluetooth to scan for any nearby phones that are also running the app. The app records their unique ID number to your phone with information on how far apart you've been and how long you're together.
The information is ONLY recorded on your phone and deleted automatically every 28 days.
If you have contracted the virus, you'll be encouraged to change your status on the app. This triggers the app to automatically upload the anonymous data on your phone onto our server via encrypted connection so no one knows who you are.
Once the data is uploaded, UpHealth app automatically goes through each interaction between unique id numbers of your app and others who you've been in contact with and will send them an alert they might have been infected.
