How digital surveillance in virus fight watches you more closely than any GPS

(Worthy News) – Coronavirus phone tracking doesn’t just tell governments more or less where their citizens are, but can also show the phone owners’ “micro-environment” and provide a treasure trove of information about their physical surroundings, a systems engineer behind key technology being used in the battle against the spread of coronavirus has revealed.

Ori Shaashua of Herzliya-based Neura told The Times of Israel that while many people assume that that tracking is all about GPS information, this is just the tip of the iceberg. His company processes all kinds of other complex data that cellphones — unbeknownst to most of their users — are constantly gathering.

“The data we analyze is about the micro-environment a person is in,” said Shaashua, vice president for product at Neura, explaining that the average phone has 14 sensors that provide information about motion, acceleration, light, and other aspects of a person’s physical surroundings.
