A Rapid Prediction and Response System (RPARS) to Facilitate Guided Self-Regulation During Pandemics

It has become imperative to disrupt viral transmission by proactively guiding individual behavior in a targeted approach. While broad population-oriented technologies such as digital contact tracing and vaccine passport apps have been tried, advanced privacy-preserving approaches are needed to ingest user information in real-time, and better adapt to changing epidemiological circumstances. In response, this presentation: 1) introduces guided self-regulation as a possible means of disrupting viral transmission via the use of digital technology, and 2) outlines a prototype Rapid Prediction and Response System designed to facilitate guided self-regulation in an advanced privacy-preserving approach.
