Outreach for Covid-19 longitudinal study proposal?

Question

I'm failing at finding development help for a COVID-19 study initiative. I could use your ideas and critiques.https://gist.github.com/williamflynt/a1595665b8bf4e30a2a493f...BACKGROUND:A small nonprofit called RAIN in Tacoma just bought and set up blood gathering and testing equipment, and they have an antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 ready to go. Sample collection starts next week, with an eye to scaling to many thousands in the Tacoma area. PhDs in immunology, microbiology, and virology are heading up the effort.They need some technology beyond what they know on the market, and (since it's a nonprofit) they called up volunteers. I'm a volunteer, and I wrote the markdown doc in the gist.The idea is to make longitudinal studies possible for persons that are tested for COVID-19.How can I find help to make this happen for our town?

Check out the OpenCovid19 Initiative[0]. They have many ongoing sub-projects and a dedicated slack channel for developers. You may find help for your project or that something similar is already in the works.[0] https://itsfoss.com/opencovid19/

We've been running a longitudinal self-reported diagnosis, conditions, and risk exposure study. There are many challenges in this [0, 1], but plan to keep collecting into the foreseeable future. Currently operating on a global scale, but could be targeted to a specific geographic region.. - M (max@generalresearch.com)[0] https://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h3480.full [1] https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/1/2/e000234

Email is in my profile. We launched a citizen science app that already handles thousands of participants in our first two studies. Lots of alignment with where you&rsquo;re going, and at the very least we can offer some advice.

Nice initiative but you'll struggle to publish the app on the app store and Google play(mildly put) with all their restrictions in relation to COVID19.
