about us

CoVis, a two-time MIT hackathon-winning solution developed in partnership with Sidebench and supported by DESY, is a decision support instrument that helps users check their risk of COVID-19 and better protect themselves and their loved ones.

CoVis combines global, local, and personal data to locally and securely calculate your risk. Smart algorithm calculations are done on your phone. Your data stays with you.
