Corona Data Donation: Citizen science, public health & fighting against COVID-19

Welcome to the Berlin Open Knowledge Lab. We are a group of people interested in Open Data and Civic Tech. We usually meet once a week to develop technological and political solutions in a smaller round.

Once a month we invite an expert to give a talk about an Open Data or Civic Tech topic that they specialise in. We will gather at https://bbb.ulm.dev/b/ok-lab-berlin

In March, we are welcoming Marc Wiedermann into the lab to talk about the RKI's work on the Corona Data Donation project:

The Corona Data Donation project allows its participants to provide data collected from their fitness trackers or smart watches for scientific research on real-time monitoring of potential COVID-19 disease burden, long-term effects of a Sars-CoV-2 infection as well as broader public health related research questions. I will show a summary of recent applications of such data, present our team's outreach activities to keep participants engaged with the project, discuss the broader potential of wearable technologies for public health research and share insights and experiences with our efforts for data publication.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us beforehand. Just click the Contact button in the organizer section on the left and send us a message. We will get back to you shortly!
