Network Partnerships

We work in partnership with Facebook, Camber Systems, and Cuebiq, who provide our team with aggregated data sets in accordance with data use agreements and strict privacy-preserving policies. Through direct connections with departments of health at the city, state, and country-level, we provide situation reports to decision-makers who are implementing social distancing interventions. These data are critical in providing timely insights into the effectiveness of social distancing measures, for identifying potentially high-risk zones, and for planning the roll-back of restrictions.
