This is probably the worst analogy for what a company does that I have ever seen.
Why? As obnoxious as it is, it was immediately clear to me that this system relies on crowd-sourced self-reported health data to help others assess risk. As far as analogies go, it served its purpose.
Well, FWIW I read it as "an app to get directions to coronavirus".
Waze started out as a crowdsourced police avoidance app for drivers, which is a closer fit to the analogy.
On their site they have a map of counties and risk level. Some counties I know of that currently have few cases are labeled as very high risk. They had cases in the past but the numbers have fallen. This makes me question the usefulness of the presentation.
If you live in a county with a lot of people, county-level data is useless. If you don't live in a county with a lot of people, your risk is pretty low.
Look at the zip code based stats in a single large county. The variance is insanely large:
3k users spread out, they probably need to introduce a significance component..
Our team is building https://birdlevel.com/ which lets HR teams get actionable insights into the well being of their employees. I'd love to explore integrating Hunala data and inferences into an office-localized experience for teams.
This is a neat idea, have you found a need to gain a minimum number of employees for insights?
It’s not about well being than pure physical risk so small numbers are still helpful.
*more about well being
Good to know, thanks.
An app for coronavirus to get directions to its next host?
The privacy policy sent me packing.
This may be a poor comparison. I had to sit here and think really hard to even remember what Waze does. Remember commuting?
