ArcTouch Offers Free COVID-19 Contact Tracing App Development Services for Government Agencies
Summary
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ArcTouch, a full-service digital product development firm, today announced free app design and development services to help state and country health agencies build and launch contract tracing apps using Apple and Google’s new Exposure Notification system. “Government health agencies need expert app creators to bring Apple and Googles Exposure Notification system to life,” said ArcTouch founder and CEO Eric N. Shapiro. “We’re excited to share our expertise with Bluetooth proximity detection — and lend our dedicated team of app designers and engineers to this important work.” Apple and Google recently released their Exposure Notification API, enabling mobile applications to securely and anonymously log physical proximity between mobile phones — and for people to self-report if they’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19. With this backbone technology, government health agencies can build custom applications for people to privately share a positive diagnosis and anonymously notify other individuals that they may have been exposed to the virus. ArcTouch works with some of the worlds most recognizable brands, from Fortune 500 companies to influential startups, including 3M, Hawaiian Airlines, McCormick, Amazon, Audi, Quizlet, and more.
