and counting.

Everyone 18+ years old with an internet connection can participate, whether or not you have been tested for COVID-19!

Our Goals

  • Discover what works to slow the outbreak
  • Identify what symptoms mean you might be infected
  • Find what could lessen the health impact of the pandemic
  • Track what the real effects are on people around the world

We’ll send updates, post maps related to behaviors and symptoms, and let you know what we find as soon as we can.

FAQs

This study is important to help us discover how COVID-19 is spreading throughout the world, and ways to predict and prevent further infections.

We’ll ask you some questions each day and invite you to participate in OPTIONAL study opportunities, like connecting other apps and smartphone GPS. In the future, we may also ask you to join other studies. We’ll notify you via push notification on your smartphone, email, and/or text message when new survey questions or other study activities are open to you.

Sign up and your first set of surveys will take about 20-25 minutes, and then we’ll ask for about 5-15 more minutes of your time per week.

As with any mode of electronic participation, there is always a small risk of loss of privacy. See our Privacy & Data Security Policy for more information.

By participating, you will help us contribute to a better understanding of COVID-19 and find better ways to predict, prevent, and treat COVID-19.
