Boston Globe reporter Hiawatha Bray spotlights how Prof. Ramesh Raskar is developing an app aimed at tracking the spread of Covid-19 using location data already collected by mobile phones. Raskar hopes “people who have tested positive for COVID-19 would voluntarily share their location data with public health officials, to help them identity hot spots and potential paths of infection,” writes Bray.
