CovidWatcher is a research tool built by Columbia University. More information about CovidWatcher at covidwatcher.org
The information gathered through the app will help prepare cities, hospitals, and community organizations in their response to the pandemic. It will help identify the next COVID-19 hot spots or which resources are needed in which neighborhood.
Your answers contribute to insights we return through online, interactive maps that visualize in an anonymous and aggregated way the pandemic’s evolution in different neighborhoods.
How this study works:

- We will ask you to answer daily or weekly surveys about your health status, your emotional wellbeing, and a range of other aspects of your daily life, such as your employment status and resources you need access to.
- You can view online interactive dashboards that show the pandemic’s evolution through time at covidwatcher.org
- All information the app collects is kept private and secure. Answers to surveys are kept separate from any identifiable information.
