Contact Tracing
A practical, privacy-first approach to scale contact tracing today.
Take control of their personal data that Big Tech companies have already collected.
Collaborate with healthcare providers and public health agencies to beat COVID-19.
Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations fighting COVID-19 on the front-lines with tools that enable them to do their jobs faster, safer and more effectively.
We have built technology that empowers individuals to take their personal, fine-grain location data that Big Tech companies have already collected, and contribute that directly to the first-responders, epidemiologists, and doctors that desperately need it. Other proposals rely on untested, unready, and unrealistic technologies that don’t match the urgency of the moment.
Our technology puts individuals in control. We believe that with the right tools, average Americans will eagerly work hand in hand with their trusted doctors and local officials to beat COVID-19.
The location histories of many Americans are already collected and put to use targeting advertisements and helping us navigate the world; it's time to recruit that data in the defining crisis of our time.
The technology and data required to power this approach exist and are deployable today. We should not wait on the development, deployment, and wide-spread adoption of new technologies and data collection methods.
Let’s do this. Together.

Chief Executive & Technology Officer
We partner with healthcare providers who white-label and deploy our technology. Our partners own and control patient data and interactions, and apply strong privacy controls to protect personal data.
When a patient tests positive for COVID-19, our partners invite them to safely and securely export their location history from Big Tech companies and share it with the partner organization. Our one-touch data intake tool makes the process easy for individuals and their doctors.
We index that location data, which creates a corpus of times and places where COVID-19 positive patients have been. We employ state-of-the-art methods to minimize the amount of personal information that is stored while still enabling critical capabilities for COVID-19 responders.
Individuals can securely — and without contributing any data — compare their own location history against the COVID-19 exposure reference set. Applying machine learning techniques, we generate exposure risk scores for individuals and locations.
We are a group of experienced Silicon Valley engineers, designers, lawyers and businesspeople.
