pricing and selling C19 App - potentials5 Jul 2020 19:56
2 Factors:
1) Governments (plural), need a way to alert, store, and track the virus
2) businesses need to know who has it to protect staff and customers but also to make sure they can get as many people into a defined space to maximize profits
In the interview Guy clearly states that the medical industry (NHS in the UK), needs to be apart of the process.
The way it could be potentially done is the app is a medical passport but on the phone.
This lets businesses know if someone wants to get into a place the risk factors involved, which at the moment they do not have, alongside the UK gov guideline of storing visitors' details the app can double as a visit checker.
Also means if some people have been in a place an outbreak occurs then an easy alert can be sent to all the people that have been to that place in a time frame.
the government and end-users (consumers) do not pay, but businesses have to pay on a subscription model, maybe per location so that they can use the app as a way to record visitor details and be GDPR compliant.
if you take a cinema chain, hotel chain, and big pub chain that could equal thousands of locations.
also include universities that are desperate to get students on campus as many people are thinking of scrapping uni this year which could sink a lot of places with lost revenue.
You only need 1 or 2 big chains to sign up and most of the UK will fall in line as it will be seen as a way to finally take the virus into the known realm and assist with getting life and the economy moving again.
