Abstract

Economists at Goethe University are developing a COVID-19 app for symptom tracking in collaboration with colleagues from the university clinic. The app is used to provide individual long-term support for COVID-19 patients. It offers a kind of diary with which the development of symptoms and the range of action can be recorded in a structured manner and, if desired, pseudonymized to scientists for long-term studies and heat maps, but also for individual information. "We are no longer just looking at COVID patients. The app's functions should now also be used to accompany long-term patients such as those infected with HIV and people with other viral diseases. "
