NOVID

A new way to fight disease. Get alerted about cases and exposures near you so you can *avoid* infection. Built for individuals, schools, and communities.

[NOVID @novid]

@TheAngryEpi @CarnegieMellon @GeorgiaTech Well, there's a key difference: Conventional contract tracing apps notify the user after they are exposed. We notify *before* you're exposed.

[NOVID @novid]

@TheAngryEpi A new way to find disease: know how far away it is and when to take precautions. NOVID can incentivize *individuals* to wear masks, even in the absence of mandates. Used by @CarnegieMellon and @GeorgiaTech. https://t.co/P73oqqx8xu. Let us know if you'd like to chat.

Now that there are a number of areas of transmission in NSW, I'm thinking it could be good to try this new app out. https://t.co/QWkajSz3k3 #covidnsw

@MarylouiseMcla1 @YouTube Thanks for sharing this new approach to contact tracing! Delta variant's faster spread is beating old containment methods. This new approach uses game theory and network theory to align incentives: it's the first app that helps healthy people avoid getting sick themselves.

We're rounding off #AAPIHM by honoring @PoShenLoh. Recently, he founded @NOVIDApp, an app to fight disease. Loh views himself as a fusion of Asian and American cultures. To AAPI students, he says, "You can flourish in two different cultures." Read more: https://t.co/NCvzguHlYx

Here's my conversation with Po-Shen Loh (@poshenloh), professor of mathematics at CMU, about the International Math Olympiad, math education, and a powerful privacy-preserving approach to contact tracing that he and team have developed. https://t.co/fUuq8I4iET

@MattfroB @VicGovDH Thanks Matthew! We are always happy to talk. If anyone from @VicGovDH wants to discuss, they can reach out at hello (at) https://t.co/pRR2cYLOvR

The average daily pace of coronavirus vaccinations is down almost 50% from its April peak, according to CDC data. https://t.co/t0AOGlVTYv

@NOVIDApp @PoShenLoh @lexfridman This was the most profound moment of the interview. The @NOVIDApp use of the network the virus uses to travel through a community to deny a virus access prior to the event as opposed to after it had passed. Great interview & great work @PoShenLoh & @NOVIDApp Team!

@HawaiiScience @PoShenLoh @lexfridman We second @PoShenLoh! Thanks for listening and for the beautiful one-sentence summary.

[NOVID @novid]

Po: The key is, we are making a viral app to fight a virus spreading on the same network that the virus spreads on.

@lexfridman: So you’re trying to out-virus the virus?

@PoShenLoh: That’s right. That's exactly right.

"The standard paradigm is: What already happened? Quick! Damage control! Ours is to predict the future."

@portna Congratulations!

[Po-Shen Loh @PoShenLoh]

Lex is remarkable. He's conversational across wide range of intellectual/philosophical topics. Thanks for highlighting new game-theoretic approach to pandemics that we discovered: aligning incentives so even selfish individualistic behavior contributes societal disease control.

[NOVID @novid]

@timusician Let us know how your friends feel about NOVID! Oh, and the good news is, you can absolutely install both. The apps provide different types of information to the user.
