JMIR Med Inform 2021 9(7):e27449 doi:10.2196/27449 KeywordsĪt the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus was determined to be associated with a group of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. Future app designers can keep these lessons in mind to create a version that is suitable for their local culture, especially with regard to local attitudes toward privacy-utility tradeoffs during public health crises. In this viewpoint, we outline common strategies employed for contact tracing apps, detail the successes and shortcomings of several prominent apps, and describe lessons learned that may be used to shape effective contact tracing apps for the present and future. Now, with lessons learned from this pandemic, groups can better design and test apps in preparation for the future. As a result, many of these apps had poor voluntary public uptake, which greatly decreased the apps’ efficacy. The hasty development of incomplete contact tracing apps undermined public trust and negatively influenced perceptions of app efficacy. Many companies and governments sprinted to deploy contact tracing apps that were not properly vetted for performance, privacy, or security issues. While such apps were designed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the time scale in which these apps were deployed proved a significant barrier to efficacy. One potential measure is the widespread use of contact tracing apps. By applying lessons learned to create better preventative methods and speedier interventions, the harm of a future pandemic may be dramatically reduced. The global and national response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been inadequate due to a collective lack of preparation and a shortage of available tools for responding to a large-scale pandemic.
