Impact of a CE-marked medical software sensor on SARS-CoV-2 disease pandemic progression estimation

ConclusionsAccurate short-term predictions of Covid-19 patient admissions can be made, and both the symptom check questionnaires and the daily admissions data contribute to the accuracy of the predictions. Thus, symptoms checkers can be used to estimate the progression of the pandemic, which can be considered when predicting the health care burden in a future pandemic.Key messagesDigital surveillance of symptoms enables rapid and contactless tracing of epidemic progression.Prediction models can help support medical decision making in an epidemic to promote and protect public health and prevent health care system overload.
