HUNTINGDON, PA.--AssureTech, LLC, Force for Health and Kdan Mobile Software, Ltd. have collaborated to develop software for tracking potential outbreaks of CORVID-19 and create predictive models to help effectively deploy testing and treatment resources to areas that may be in need. AssureTech, a digital health startup from Huntingdon, Pa., combined much of their existing software infrastructure used in their EpiCenter App (beta version) to build the assessment, and combined it with Force for Health's expansive digital platform, theforceforhealth.com. Kdan Mobile, a global SaaS provider and partner of AssureTech, helped the group build the predictive model. The software is delivered in a quiz-like format that asks qualifying questions a potential patient would answer upon visiting a treatment facility. The user's answers are calculated on the backend and the program will produce one of four recommendations base on his or her answers: "You're Managing Your Risk Well;" "You Should Take More Precautions to Manage Your Risk;" "You Should Consider Getting Tested;" and "You Should Consider Getting Tested Soon." The location of a user's response is stored anonymously and creates a model that shows clusters of symptoms ranging from minimum-high-risk. The group hopes these models will help authorities better allocate resources ahead of time while providing advice to users from the safety of their home. A user who completes the quiz will receive suggestions on next steps and be directed to a selection of resources that include the location of nearby treatment facilities, mental health resources, tips for risk reduction and more. The program works better when more people participate. Users that complete the assessment are encouraged share the assessment with friends, families and coworkers to collect more information. Anyone that wants to take the assessment is encouraged can do so here - COVID -19 Epi-STEM Assessment https://www.betheforce.health ### About AssureTech AssureTech was founded in 2017 to develop technology-based solutions for people with food allergies.

My name is Ali and I am a second-semester Master of Public Health student at the Penn State College of Medicine. When I graduate from my program in May 2021, I want to be an Epidemiologist. Epidemiologists study the pattern and behavior of diseases in humans and try to predict (and, hopefully, prevent) the next outbreak. Scientists and disease experts have often said, “it’s not about ‘if’ the next disease will come, it's ‘when’”. We knew that we were going to experience another pandemic, but a little over 100 years after the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, we find ourselves in the midst of the largest epidemic of our time: COVID-19. This coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019. A “coronavirus” is a common type of virus that affects your nose, throat, and other parts of your respiratory tract. This classification of viruses is not to be confused with the infamous “COVID-19”, which is a new type of coronavirus that scientists and doctors have never seen before. COVID-19, like other coronaviruses, are spread through air droplets when someone coughs or sneezes- and it can travel as far as 6 feet. Although people who are the most symptomatic (i.e. fever, vomiting, shortness of breath) are the most contagious, over half of people with COVID-19 show only mild or no symptoms. Even if you have very mild symptoms or something feels a little “off”, you could still be spreading the virus to people who are immunocompromised. Which brings me to my thoughts on the issue. I still have a lot to learn and I see a PhD in my future, but I can say that armed with my undergraduate education in Global Health Studies and Economics and my ongoing Epidemiology education, I feel confident that I can comment on this epidemic. I understand that the majority of people will not die from this virus, but there are many who would if social distancing and isolation is not practiced. People with heart problems, lung problems, and respiratory issues are the most at risk for having serious consequences if they contract COVID-19. I am not asking you to stay home and stay away from your friends because I am worried that someone like you, a young and healthy adult, will contract the virus. I am worried about people like my mother who has breast cancer and my father who is 61 years old. If I get the virus, I know that I will be fine but personally I am going to self-quarantine and do whatever I can to keep my loved ones safe.
