Digital contact tracing in Aotearoa New Zealand: a scan in the right direction, or a digital dead-end?
DCT was just one of many interventions aiming to eliminate, and then suppress, COVID-19. This context makes it difficult to isolate and conclude that the efficacy of DCT during this pandemic would translate to future pandemic conditions, especially if there is improved design and implementation. However, this research shows that the self-service survey approach worked better than expected, and that there is some promise in automating notification processes.
