Safer Community: Pandemic Resources for Health and Safety
Safer Community is a free Android app developed by ROKMETRO Inc. that provides resources to support community health and safety during the pandemic. The app allows users to receive their virus test results, manage future tests, and make contact with health response teams and healthcare providers. It uses Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS technology to help notify potential exposures to COVID-19.
The app provides information about test locations and COVID-19 guidelines for your county. It also includes a symptom scale that supports automated self-assessments. Additionally, Safer Community features a Bluetooth-based exposure notification system that warns of possible contact with infected individuals through anonymous proximity tracing. This app is currently being used by several universities, including the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, Vanderbilt University, DC universities, Marymount University, and Champaign-Urbana.
Safer Community is a useful tool for individuals who want to stay informed and take proactive measures to protect themselves and their communities during the pandemic.
