Privacy & Pandemics: Responsible Uses of Technology and Health Data During Times of Crisis — An International Tech and Data Conference

27/10/2020 00:00 — 28/10/2020 23:59

ITPI & The Future of Privacy Forum, in collaboration with the National Science Foundation, Duke Sanford School of Public Policy, SFI ADAPT Research Centre, Dublin City University, and Intel Corporation presents Privacy & Pandemics: Responsible Uses of Technology and Health Data During Times of Crisis — An International Tech and Data Conference, including a two day virtual workshop on October 27-28, 2020 to explore the value and limits of data and technology in the context of a global crisis. At 10 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, what role have tech and data played in combating the crisis, what have we learned about limitations of law, policy and technical tools, and what areas need reform and additional research?

10:40AM – 12:10PM ET: Session 1 – Accessibility SARS CoV-2 Data

The need to understand, research, and prevent the spread of COVID-19 has necessitated urgent efforts to assemble, collect, manage, and transfer volumes of data from a variety of disparate sources. These efforts have raised unique challenges related to data access and quality, systems’ interoperability, and display & visualization of information.

12:30 – 2:00PM ET: Session 2 – Use of Technology to Track, Trace & Notify to Control the Spread of COVID-19

Identifying the mechanisms for spread of COVID-19 presents scientific and social challenges. Concerns about transmission through direct contact, shared surfaces, and via airborne droplets led to the development of new technologies to facilitate appropriate social distancing and isolation following an infection, contact tracing and exposure notification apps, thermal scanning, and self-isolation symptom recommendation services to reduce person-to-person exposure. These technologies raise concerns about data protection, privacy, and public trust, which experts will address in this panel.
