Characterizing the role of human behavior in the effectiveness of contact-tracing applications by Ariadna Fosch, Ariadna Fosch, Ariadna Fosch, Alberto Aleta, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno, Yamir Moreno, Yamir Moreno

“…The model was initialized to produce epidemic outbreaks resembling the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and was used to explore the impact of different changes in behavioral features in peak incidence and maximal prevalence.ResultsThe results corroborate the relevance of the number of users for the effectiveness of CT apps but also highlight the need for early adoption and, at least, moderate levels of compliance, which are factors often not considered by most policymakers.DiscussionThe insight obtained was used to identify a bottleneck in the implementation of several apps, such as the Spanish CT app, where we hypothesize that a simplification of the reporting system could result in increased effectiveness through a rise in the levels of compliance.…”
