COVID Tracker Ireland is an open source digital contact tracing app that was released by the Irish Government and the Health Service Executive (HSE) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 nationwide. Using ENS and Bluetooth technology, the app informs users when they have been a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19. The app hit the headlines in July after it gained one million registered users in the 36 hours after its launch. OpenUK has invited Danese Cooper of Nearform, the company that helped develop the software for COVID Tracker Ireland, to speak about the development of the app on 26 February.
