Table 1 Summary of key performance indicators and results of the population-based controlled experiment.

From: A population-based controlled experiment assessing the epidemiological impact of digital contact tracing

KPI

Result

Adoption

~33%, potentially larger based on indirect survey data.

Adherence

high during the whole duration of the experiment.

Compliance

64% of those cases that are given a code introduce it in the app.

Turnaround time

98% of those index cases that comply introduce the code within 24 h, and on average it takes 2.35 days between a simulated index case introduces a code in the app and the alerted close-contacts follow-up with call centre.

Follow-up

10% of notified close-contacts follow-up with a call to the designated point of care (call centre).

Overall detection

on average and after adequate Bluetooth calibration, the app can trace 6.3 close-contacts per index case.

Hidden detection

between 23% and 39% (depending on the survey form) of exposed close-contacts are strangers to the index case.
