Digital Contact Tracing Taxonomy
This is a framework designed to cumulatively ask questions that are needed to assess and review digital Contact Tracing Apps (CTAs). Every section is designed focusing on individual categories which have been personally classified for the user's areas of interest.
Pillars of the Taxonomy
Cluster analysis performed led to the identification of evaluation themes called 'pillars'. Selecting one of them will lead to a fill-in form for that pillar
Characteristics
Captures non-judgemental criteria, e.g., app identifiers, organisation ids, functional overview.
Effectiveness
Measures the success of an app wrt its accuracy/ detecting/sharing of contacts/its adoption by the population.
Technical
Performance
Focuses on system resource utilization and execution speed including processor working, both front-end and back-end.
Citizen

Transparency
Involves questions unrelated to functionality and focuses on documentation of source code, privacy policy, etc.
