However, the NHS COVID-19 app was not free from issues.In December 2021, the app sent around 700,000 alerts, prompting many to complain about a possible problem with its algorithm. In addition, there was also no means to determine if users were indeed self-isolating since everyone on the app remained anonymous.But researchers revealed in a study published in February that the app helped prevent around one million COVID-19 cases and an estimated 44,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths during its first year of use.\"The NHS COVID-19 app experienced high user engagement, identified infectious contacts well, and helped to avert appreciable numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths,\" the research team wrote.\"We conclude that digital contact tracing - a relatively low cost and rapidly available intervention - is a valuable public health measure for reducing transmission in any future epidemic waves of SARS-CoV-2 or other applicable pathogens.\"The demise of the app was to be expected, especially after all COVID-19-related restrictions got lifted. Despite this, the app will have \"a positive legacy\" for future public health crises, Tony Blair Institute for Global Change chief policy strategist Benedict Macon-Cooney told the BBC.Published by Medicaldaily.com","og_url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fr\/application-nhs-covid-19-qui-a-permis-deviter-larret-dun-million-de-cas-en-mai\/","og_site_name":"Urban Care Clinic","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar","article_published_time":"2023-04-30T23:30:39+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"Urban Care Clinic","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may.jpg","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"Urban Care Clinic","Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/"},"author":{"name":"Urban Care Clinic","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/f286c4d84be896d302aceda3ed7e789c"},"headline":"NHS COVID-19 App That Helped Prevent A Million Cases Shutting Down In May","datePublished":"2023-04-30T23:30:39+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/"},"wordCount":412,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may.jpg","articleSection":["Medical Daily"],"inLanguage":"fr-FR"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/","url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/nhs-covid-19-app-that-helped-prevent-a-million-cases-shutting-down-in-may\/","name":"L&#039;application NHS COVID-19 qui a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 emp\u00eacher l&#039;arr\u00eat d&#039;un million de cas en mai -
