Watch out: Don't catch the bug - Contact tracking for fun and credit

Epidemic models are highly predictive if behavioural assumptions and properties of the disease are known; however, behaviour of individuals is notoriously hard to predict and depends strongly on environmental factors. We propose to design a privacy friendly mobile app that can collect data to enrich epidemic models through a fun game. Moreover, the same privacy enhancing protocols will be helpful to use this app to assist the response to an actual threat.
