Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements have been made to incorporate information from the King's College London and ZOE COVID-19 symptom tracking application into the submission of information and advice to ministers.

Project OASIS is a combined effort between NHSX and the jHub to create a much clearer picture of the public’s experience with COVID-19 by incorporating data from third party symptom tracker apps commonly used by the public with the National Health Service’s own internal data. The data will be used by the NHS to understand the spread of COVID-19 at a national and local level.

At the point that the OASIS platform began ingesting data there were seven app providers that had committed to provide data. Following discussions with the King’s College London team, NHSX has been working with Health Data Research UK (HDR) to onboard the data from the C-19 Covid Symptom Tracker (Zoe app) into project OASIS. These discussions are at the final stages as at 20 May 2020. When this is agreed HDR will be added as a contributor to project OASIS on the NHSX website.
