CoTrack
CoTrack is an app created by citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which users can share information regarding their health status, report if they have been diagnosed with coronavirus and activate an option that shares the user's location. Using this data, the app generates a public map that visualizes the areas with a high risk of COVID-19 contagion. The app can send notifications to users reporting contagion risk alerts and provides information on how to act in the event of coronavirus symptoms or after having had contact with infected people. Although the app can be used all over the country, in Mendoza it is backed by a governmental policy.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
