In Europe, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has established an online symptom reporting tool (https://minhelse.helsenorge.no/skjemautfyller?Query=Questionnaire/302) meant to supplement the electronic health record and track the natural evolution of symptoms. Within 24 hours of being launched its launch in the UK, the C-19 COVID Symptom Tracker App (covid.joinzoe.com) had 650,000 downloads. The letsbeatcovid.net online survey is a collaboration between NHS doctors and Leeds University Institute of Data Analytics. Similar data collecting tools have been established in the UK and several other countries, including the letsbeatcovid.net, a collaboration between NHS doctors and Leeds University Institute of Data AnalyticsNetherlands, Slovakia and others.
🏆 How we win
Vision
Here, we propose to create a similar online symptom-reporting tool. This will allow to collect anonymous information such as: location, major and minor symptoms of Covid-19 infection, presence of co-morbidies, and risk-factors associated with Covid-19 exposure. We expect less than 2-5% of surveys submitted to actually have the disease. Nevertheless, collecting large amounts of data will allow for downstream analysis, predictive modeling and generate data-driven insights for decision-makers.

What we're not doing:
The survey cannot diagnose coronavirus infection. The questions are intended to identify the geographic areas in which the coronavirus is spreading in Sweden. This will help locate areas with potential high numbers of infected people. All data will be used solely for helping track the spread of virus.
