SYNOPSIS
The key questions addressed:
- What information is needed by epidemiologists for effective contact tracing?
- How can mobile and other tech provide that data?
- Are legal limitations to contact tracing real or simply perceived?
- What legal assurances should Data Protection Authorities offer to scientists working on contact-tracing and in what order of priority?
Format:
20-minute slide presentation by a data science speaker (Dr. Tummarello) on surveillance technologies used so far by agencies for emergency Covid-19 containment and illustration of privacy preserving options, followed by questions by NHS Discussant (Dr. Winter) involved in designing a national NHS contact-tracing product. Audience expected to share their experience and interact with speakers via live posts
Outcome:
We wish to collate, both from front line medical and data scientists engaged in Covid-19 response, the top unresolved, unclear or ambiguous data protection questions and priorities and present these to the European Data Protection Board to inform their expected guidelines in this area
