The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic challenged the authorities into taking measures that limit the spread of the virus in the community. TAMEC project (Advanced Community Approaches to Epidemic Management) developed a system that detects the contacts of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and alerts them using mobile applications. It allows real-time analysis of confirmed patients and identified contacts, early detection of new outbreaks, and provides decisionmaking information to prevent viral transmission. The system uses its patent for homomorphic encryption, a method that allows to process and manipulate data in an encrypted format, without having access to the original data. Thus, the solution proposed in the TAMEC project fully respects the privacy rules of citizens imposed by the EU, using the concept of privacy preservation. Our solution offers the possibility to identify and validate a risk score that could become an extremely helpful tool in the stratification of COVID-19 patients. The TAMEC system is innovative in its simplicity and ability to facilitate the prevention of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the community.
