Rapid implementation of mobile technology for real-time epidemiology of COVID-19 2020-04-06 .txt text/plain 2187 118 45 We established the COronavirus Pandemic Epidemiology (COPE) consortium to bring together scientists with expertise in big data research and epidemiology to develop a COVID-19 Symptom Tracker mobile application that we launched in the UK on March 24, 2020 and the US on March 29, 2020 garnering more than 2.25 million users to date. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.02.20051334 doi: medRxiv preprint of scientists with expertise in big data research and translational epidemiology to interrogate the COVID-19 pandemic in the largest and most diverse patient population assembled to-date. By collecting participant-reported geospatial data, highlighted as a critical need for pandemic epidemiologic research (16), we can rapidly identify populations 5 with highly prevalent symptoms that may emerge as hot spots for outbreaks. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.02.20051334 doi: medRxiv preprint Concerningly, 20% of individuals report complex symptoms (cough and/or fatigue plus at least one of anosmia, diarrhea, or fever) but have not yet received testing, representing a substantial population who appear to be at greater risk for the disease. ./cache/cord-275924-mmcszoxb.txt ./txt/cord-275924-mmcszoxb.txt
