Introduction

We are a group of volunteers building open source tools to enable virtual resources for public health to fight back against covid-19 in the face of diminishing physical resources. Our core product is Smart Tracing. We enable communities to quickly set up and deploy a QR system at locations in under 5 seconds. This establishes a framework that allows users to check-in by scanning each QR before entering a participating location. Our UI enables users on scan to automatically enroll without the need to signup, install an app, or visit a website - all in under one second. If an individual tests positive we enable public health agencies to quickly query the intersections of individuals to trace past exposure in a way thats private and effective. This in turn enables individualized public health administration at scale. Early deployment of Zerobase to build up a strong check-in repository will make each marginal test extremely powerful - this will be critical in places with resource limitations or limited test kits. This is why our goal is to reach communities before covid-19 with your help.
