I'm sceptical.
I've flung together some preliminary notes, with a view to establishing
what's known about the effectiveness of apps like this.
I'd appreciate feedback, pointers to sources, and pointers to people who
are actively working on such questions.
Thanks! ... Roger
The Effectiveness of Bluetooth Proximity Apps
Preliminary Notes of 29 April 2020
http://www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/EC/EBPA.html
Abstract
Public health teams trace people who may have been exposed to a person
infected with COVID-19. I'm a sceptic about the effectiveness of apps
based on Bluetooth proximity data in supporting the efforts of those
teams. These are preliminary and hastily-flung-together notes intended
to frame the problem, and hence guide the search for evidence to support
or debunk my scepticism.
