Via Fast Company –

The centerpiece of the program is an app, on a daily basis, where students and teachers log their symptoms (or lack thereof) and activities that might put them at risk based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The app will also tell a person when they need to get tested for COVID-19….

The app will also randomly assign asymptomatic users to get tested for COVID-19.

Use of “Healthy at Work” is mandatory for Brown University employees.

According to the Verily Privacy Policy that is linked from Brown’s information webpage, the “Healthy at Work” app may share data with Google LLC and and Salesforce.com Inc.
