The [_COVID Symptom Tracker App_](https://covid.joinzoe.com "https://covid.joinzoe.com") was created by doctors and scientists at King's College London, Guys and St Thomas Hospitals working in partnership with ZOE Global Ltd a health science company. The app will be used to study the symptoms of COVID-19 and track the spread of the virus. This research is led by Prof. Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at Kings College London and director of TwinsUK. TwinsUK is a scientific study of 15,000 twins, which has been running for almost thirty years. As well as using the app to study symptoms in the general population TwinsUK will use it to understand how symptoms develop with 5000 participating twins.

COVID症状追踪程序（https://covid.joinzoe.com）是由伦敦国王学院、盖斯和圣托马斯医院的医生和科学家与 健康科学公司ZOE Global Ltd共同开发的。 该应用程序可用于研究COVID-19的症状及跟踪COVID-19病毒的传播。这项研究的负责人是伦敦国王学院基因流行病学教授、TwinsUK主管Tim Spector教授。TwinsUK是英国一项基于15,000对双胞胎的科学研究，这项研究已经做了近30年了。该程序除了用于研究普通人群的症状外也在TwinsUK研究里用于了解5000名双胞胎的症状的发展。

This research aims to help scientists develop a better understanding of COVID-19. They will use the data to understand how fast the virus is spreading in specific areas, identify high risk areas, and to identify who is most at risk by better understanding symptoms linked to health conditions. The app gives researchers an opportunity to see how symptoms evolve over time in different risk groups, and to find patterns to who gets a mild disease. This information will be very important if there is a second wave of the virus later this year or next year. The app launched in the UK and 1.3 million people are already logging their symptoms. Thats 2% of the UK population. The app developers are working on a version for the US which they plan to release soon.

这项研究的目的是帮助科学家更好地了解COVID-19。科学家利用这些数据可以了解COVID-19病毒在特定区域传播程度的快慢、确认高风险区域及通过更好地了解与健康状况相关的症状来确定谁的风险高一些。该应用程序使得研究人员有机会观察病症在不同风险群组里时间上的变化情况，还可以找到那些症状较轻患者的模式。如果今年晚些时候或明年第二次爆发COVID-19病毒，那么这些信息就会具有非常重要的意义。该应用程序前一阵在英国推出，已经有130万人在记录他们的症状，占英国人口的2％。该应用程序的开发人员正在计划为美国开发一个版本，美国版本很快就会发布。

Now is the time to develop advanced techniques and approaches for next- generation RD. At this critical point, we should actively use DeepTech and frontier technologies to address the major risks and challenges facing us. We could start by incorporating currently available AI to improve vaccines and treatments to protect humans from infectious diseases. In the next article I will explore advanced RD and the most relevant AI technologies that are currently being developed to fight COVID19.

现在正是发展先进的下一代研发技术和方法的大好时机。在这个关键时刻，我们应该积极使用深度技术及前沿科技应对我们面临的主要风险和挑战。我们可以先通过利用目前存在的AI技术改进疫苗和治疗方法，保护人类不受传染病的侵害。
