A Study to Analyze Algorithms for Evaluating Early Detection of SARS-CoV/COVID-19 Infection in Critical Service Employees

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop algorithms that will enable earlier identification and testing triggers for COVID-19 in otherwise asymptomatic patients, and to identify baseline characteristics from patients that ultimately test positive for COVID-19 that may predict clinical trajectory during the evolution of disease.

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

    • Police officers, State Patrol, etc.;
    • Cashiers, other positions that can clearly describe how the above criteria place them at high-risk due to regular interactions.
  • Patient is comfortable and willing to interact with a tablet-based interface on a daily basis.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Under the age of 18 years old.
  • Has previously tested positive or has a pending test for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.

  • Works less than 0.75 FTE or cannot clearly articulate the nature of patient/interpersonal interactions that place them at high-risk.
