posted on 2021-08-16, 02:55 authored by Laksmiina Balasubsramaniam, Rebecca BabcockRebecca Babcock, Jennie PhillipsThis module aims to explore Digital Contact Tracing (D-CT) developed and implemented in Iceland for the
COVID-19 response. Focus is on their D-CT app, Rakning C-19, and understanding user-uptake. The case
study begins with a brief overview of the country’s overall response to COVID-19 and the impact of the
virus on the country. Following, we explain Iceland’s app by describing how it emerged, how it is designed
and functions, how users engage with the app across the whole user-engagement process, and what user uptake looks like in the country. The next section describes the main factors that emerged in our research for this country that suggest influencing user-uptake within the country’s context including sense of community, public trust, policy & governance, and response infrastructure. This section ends with a
brief conclusion.
