Six years since the inception of Digital Contact Tracing!

We've shown that privacy-preserving DCT could play a key, low-cost role in mitigating future outbreaks whilst simultaneously gathering valuable epi insights in real time.

I've had a lot of questions about Hantavirus recently - and some alarmism in some places. It's been a while since I wore this hat - but let's chat! 💬

Top Line: Am I worried? No, not really. I don't see evidence this is something that will spread widely.

I'm back from maternity leave 👋 Looking forward to catching up on the science I've been missing. And hot drinks!

Great to have @adamjkucharski open the new @PSIOxford seminar series. Here discussing our decomposition of R(t) into contributing factors & other epi monitoring through the covid app, led by @mishkendall + @LucaFerrettiEvo, out last month ICYMI https://t.co/9LAQznlWpk

Data from digital contact tracing, using examples from the NHS #COVID19 app for England and Wales, has revealed epidemic dynamics in unprecedented detail.

Thanks! It was amazing and sometimes alarming watching the data rolling in. Great to be able to share the results of our (now a bit more refined) analyses.

@DrChrisSmith @NakedScientists With thanks and congratulations again to all authors - what a team!

Understanding the drivers of respiratory pathogen spread is challenging, particularly in a timely manner during an ongoing epidemic. • Insights from the NHS COVID-19 app for England and Wales and shared with health authorities in almost real time.

[Adam Kucharski @adamjkucharski]

Crucial thread below. Several countries now have digital tools at the heart of their pandemic strategies, if they didn’t already (spoiler: these are countries that did relatively well against COVID).

Meanwhile, many European countries seem to be taking a ‘play it by ear until the next pandemic arrives’ attitude to getting modern pandemic tools in place.

And we all know how that ended last time.

Thank you, and thanks to @NakedScientists for the thoughtful questions and the opportunity to discuss these exciting findings in the detail they deserve!

[Christophe Fraser Group @ChristoPhraser]

Brilliant interview by @mishkendall here explaining how data from the NHS COVID app provides a new level of insight into epidemic drivers, and what it means for future pandemics. A must-listen.

[mishkendall @mishkendall]

You can listen here to me talking to @DrChrisSmith about how anonymised data from the NHS COVID-19 app provided fast, detailed insights into the drivers of the epidemic.

Sometimes peer review makes you feel good. Thank you, Reviewer 2.

[Christophe Fraser Group @ChristoPhraser]

When decisions must be taken quickly, evidence must be available quickly. Digital contact tracing can help this real-time aspect of public health 👩‍⚕️⏱️

[Christophe Fraser Group @ChristoPhraser]

New in @ScienceMagazine: app-based contact tracing for covid 🤒🤳📲 as well as reducing transmission, generated data for epidemic monitoring & analysis in real-time with unprecedented resolution. Example below: sharp spikes in transmission in England during last Euros, 2021 🇪🇺⚽

[Pandemic Sciences Institute @PSIOxford]

📢 NEWS: Researchers from @UniofOxford @uniofwarwick & @UKHSA use @NHSCOVID19app data to quantify the impact of seasonal festivals & events like #EUROS on COVID-19 transmission.
