Today, TCN Coalition is merging into the Linux Foundation Public Health initiative! Together we will continue our mission to use open source technologies to help PHAs globally combat COVID-19 and future epidemics. Press release via @lfpubhealth: https://t.co/6wsSlYUBmj

A quick list of some of the best material out there on the #UX of #ExposureNotification apps (one of the results of today's GAEN Symposium hosted by LFPH):

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

Our member spotlight with Ellie Daw of @CovidWatch discusses privacy in digital solutions: “We all want our technologies to be privacy-preserving, trusted by the public, and usable. This means that they have to be able to inter-operate with one another." https://t.co/1VU7s5HhTG

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

Spotlight on our member app @coepi. Co-founder @danamlewis talks about launching the project with @scottleibrand and where they are headed. Read more on our blog:https://t.co/uoM29fjYZt

Exciting news from our member app @CovidWatch!

[Covid Watch @CovidWatch]

Today, we announced an exciting partnership with @uarizona to pilot the Covid Watch app, so that campus community members can notify each other anonymously if they may have been exposed to #COVID_19. Watch the press release announcement here: https://t.co/TmoNT0lcMo

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

Our latest whitepaper lays out the TCN Coalition’s recommendations for best practices in #UX for exposure notification apps. It is the result of discussion within our community of members and experts. Read it in full here:https://t.co/iCp9uxPjGw

[Covid Watch @CovidWatch]

How could exposure notification apps like Covid Watch help ease the burden on health workers and reshape our public health system? Here's what @KBDeSalvo had to say via @TEDTalks:

Great interactive visual explaining how contact tracing and exposure notification apps work:

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

We spoke to @David_Ingram @NBCNews about our belief in the continued potential for exposure notification app development. Progress is being made by our member apps and building trustworthy, interoperable solutions will take time. https://t.co/OlBeYHqk3X

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

TCN Coalition's Ellie Daw spoke to BI about the importance of interoperability in #exposurenotification apps.

[aaron holmes @aaronpholmes]

we asked all 50 states if they're planning to use the much-hyped contact tracing tech rolled out by Apple and Google last month. only 3 said yes — and none have deployed it yet https://t.co/c6B8LxviVn

"By using a contact tracing app, we can basically help people get back at work, and we can help prevent future pandemics." - @anthenor. Thx to @AnitaCasalina for an amazing interview w/ our Co-Founder Micha Benoliel for her Earth 2.0 TV series: https://t.co/9KrjjzInPO #Bluetooth

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

How will digital contact tracing & #exposurenotification apps gain users? @itstheannmarie @WSJ spoke to our members @CovidWatch @CoEpiApp on the needs and designs for consumer adoption https://t.co/naIJ8HXDLH

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

Well said! The keys to success for #exposurenotification apps are interoperability and public trust, which will both ensure high adoption rates. TCN supports decentralized approaches that are privacy-preserving.

[EFF @EFF]

Centralized systems for contact tracing are unlikely to be more effective than decentralized alternatives. They will create massive new databases of human behavior that are difficult to secure, and more difficult to destroy once this crisis is over. https://t.co/QziIZRyuXY

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

Great piece by @riptari on interoperability in Europe. A centralized system cannot be used w/o "severely weakening the privacy of users of the decentralized system.” via @TechCrunch https://t.co/XUJOIIeCS9

[TCN Coalition @TCNCoalition]

European debates demonstrate how the US must tackle contact tracing with a privacy-first approach. We spoke with @DavidUberti from the @WSJ about Germany's switch to decentralized systems with TCN member @itoApp https://t.co/N9dCnhytFo

[Covid Watch @CovidWatch]

Hasty implementation of #contacttracing that overlooks privacy will affect not only adoption rates but also business prospects. https://t.co/U0bL6w9uWV via @WSJ

[Covid Watch @CovidWatch]

Great to see Denmark turn towards privacy preservation! As part of the global @TCNCoalition, we stand firm in our commitment to decentralized intervention and interoperability.
