NOVID utilizes Bluetooth and ultrasound technology to track COVID-19 infections. Specifically, NOVID tracks infections anonymously by utilizing information about cell phone locations. Furthermore, NOVID utilizes the "six degrees of separation" technique to trace contacts; in fact, NOVID uses 12 of such degrees. If anyone that uses the NOVID app has a positive COVID-19 test, the app will notify users that they are nearby a person who has a COVID-19 infection.
