Digital Contact Tracing : Software Architecture

Authors: Dibyendu Baksi

The covid-19 crisis is providing a lot of impetus to the search for innovative technological solutions to solve major problems of tracking and containment of the pandemic. The major cornerstones of testing, isolation, contact tracing and quarantine are well understood and agreed upon at a general level. In this paper, the software architecture for implementing successful automated digital contact tracing applications is elaborated. The goal of contact tracing is to proactively identify the infection chain of the population including asymptomatic people yet to be tested positive, i.e., to avoid asymptomatic people from spreading the disease without any intention. The entire ecosystem of contact tracing is explained so that the real challenges of integrating the key healthcare components are appreciated.
