I'm surprised that there isn't more discussion of leveraging the extensive location data that Google already routinely collects via Android and Google Maps mobile apps. I'd love any feedback on this simple proposal for a way to enable individuals to contribute their Google location history data to health care organizations: http://covidcontacttracing.com. This uses public Google APIs and Google Takeout to get raw gps data and inferred semantic locations from Google to COVID-19 response organizations. I've got a prototype that's essentially ready to deploy if anyone has suggestions for potential partners. I think the Google/Apple proposal is very promising, but I don't see any reason not to also put existing data to work on this problem. |
