Note that this app is NOT designed to give you advice related to COVID-19. It is a data collection research tool that was created by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, King's College London and Stanford University School of Medicine, working in partnership with ZOE Global Ltd. It is intended to support studies like the Nurses’ Health Study that was established in 1976 and is longitudinally tracking health and lifestyle factors on outcomes in women. The app can also be used to support other studies across the United States. A FAQ provides more general information about the app and its purpose.
After downloading and answering a few questions related to your current symptoms (if any), you’ll be asked to try to self-report on a daily basis. This is a great example of how technology solutions can be used to scale research efforts.
