What is TraceX?
TraceX is an iOS-based platform that empowers individuals to do their part in protecting themselves and the community by enabling digital COVID-19 contact tracing through a simple yet powerful interface. The app uses short-range, low-energy bluetooth signals to log the anonymous keys of nearby users who have been in close proximity for several minutes. Users can voluntarily report their current status as healthy, having COVID-19 symptoms (but not tested), or COVID-19 positive (received positive test results).
Currently, the app works optimally when at least one user has the app open in the foreground (the nearby phones can be in background) due to Apple restrictions on Bluetooth broadcasting. We plan to incorporate Apple and Google's API for Bluetooth-based Contact Tracing once released to the general public so we can address this limitation. TraceX sends anonymous notifications to users if they are exposed someone having symptoms or recently tested positive for COVID-19. As of May 2020, TraceX is undergoing rigorous beta-testing, and we hope to officially offer version 1.0 on the app store by the end of the month.
