Ontario’s COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool

What does product development look like when responding to the shifting landscape of a pandemic? Ontario’s COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool sprung up from code shared by Alberta Health Services and has shifted and twisted through many iterations in the two months since. Learn how we balanced usability with syndromic surveillance, plain language with medical precision and how user feedback loops and open source software remain at the heart of our work.
