Inspiration
The idea is an excerpt based on the github link from Nicky Case - https://ncase.me/contact-tracing/ Which details Protecting Lives and Liberty – how tracing apps can foil both COVID-19 and Big Brother
As part of this hackathon, a prototype based on the above diagram was established, with integrating capabilities of Pega to establish connectivity in reading the logs from privacy enables logs, process them in pega and maintain a common repository for anyone to check if they had been exposed to anyone suffering from COVID-19
What it does
It does ensure privacy in tracking peers who had been in close proximity without revealing the details of the person
How we built it
Using Pega 8.3 - the integration of DP3T is a mock up HTML only, which in real world could also be doable from Pega.
Challenges we ran into
Timeline. we did an entire project i pega cloud and the instance finally didnt show up - resulting in providing mock up screens to explain the flow at last minute.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Unleash the capabilities of Pega to provide a single repostory for all types of contact tracing in place - without disturbing the privacy of people
- This idea could also be a primer for business shops to promote the contact tracing locally
What we learned
- Pega's capability to scale and hold any kind of data for processing and manipulating
- Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing
What's next for Privacy Enabled Contact Tracing for COVID-19 using Pega
- Immediately is to create the provisioining of DP3T logs
- 360 use of this application
Built With
- dp3t
