Abstract

In this article, the authors discuss the different digital contact tracing solutions and address the data privacy and ethical guidelines of implementing such solutions. They also present a detailed case study for how The American University in Cairo leveraged wi-fi big data streams to improve the efficacy of the questionnaire-based contact tracing approach and demonstrate how the use of digital solutions have supported the plan of a safe return to the campus. They present the detailed technical design of the solution, address the solution challenges and limitations, the testing results, and discuss the cultural awareness efforts to ensure community acceptance and approval of the solution.
