イタリア COVID-19 Contact Tracing Applicationの利用が間も無く開始？

こんにちは、丸山満彦です。

Contact Tracingというよりも、濃厚接触の可能性通知アプリというべきかもしれませんが、イタリアで”Immuni”というアプリが公開されています。6月8日から特定の州で利用が開始され6月15日からは全国で使えるようになるようですね。。。

Principles

The main principles that guide the design and development of Immuni follow:

• Utility. The app needs to be useful in fulfilling the project's vision and goals, as outlined above. The key here is to be able to notify as high a percentage of the people who are substantially at risk as possible, and to do so as early as is practical. This is the most important principle.
• Accessibility. For fairness and to facilitate the widest adoption, Immuni should be accessible to the maximum possible number of people who may want to use it. This principle impacts decision-making across the board, including in user experience, design, localisation, and technology.
• Accuracy. Immuni aims to notify only those users who have a substantial risk of having contracted the virus. This is important because of the psychological toll that goes with being notified about a potential transmission of the disease, and because too high a rate of false positives would result in users losing trust in the app—and stopping their use of it. Also, the more accurate the app is, the more efficiently the National Healthcare Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale) will be able to take care of users, making sure to attend to higher-risk ones first.
• Privacy. Immuni must protect user privacy while remaining effective. Earning and maintaining user trust is critical—failing to do so reduces the likelihood of widespread adoption.
• Scalability. Immuni needs to be widely adopted throughout the country. This requires the system to scale well technologically and the operational burden it places on the National Healthcare Service to be manageable.
• Transparency. Everyone should be provided with access to documentation describing Immuni in all its parts and the rationale behind the most important design decisions. Also, the app will be open source. This allows the users to verify that the app works as documented and the expert community to help improve it.
