Two years of data donation: The Vital Data Explorer

Dear donors, since the middle of December, we have seen a significant decrease in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Germany until the end of February. However, until now the Fever Monitor has continued to deviate from the case counts starting around the beginning of the new year. In this post, we will try to explain why we think this happened and introduce to you our updated algorithm.

During the past few weeks we have been updating our Fever Monitor on a daily basis, based on the heart rate and activity data measured by the wearable devices and smart watches of more than 520.000 donors.
