MeitY releases backend code of Aarogya Setu to increase transparency
By MYBRANDBOOK
The backend code of Aarogya Setu was released by The Ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), in the open domain to help people understand how contact tracing mobile application functions. The step is also expected to increase transparency and dispel privacy concerns.
The backend released on a government platform called Open Forge that has been set up to promote sharing and reuse of e-governance application source code.
‘By opening the source code, the Government wants to encourage collaborative development between government departments/agencies and private organizations, citizens and developers to spur the creation of innovative e-governance applications and services’, the ministry said adding that the government has been trying to share all information related to app.
The source code of the Android and iOS versions was released earlier this year. “The backend source code is also being released as per the policy of government of India to share all code repositories with developer community," it said.
According to MeitY, the efficiency of testing has gone up with Aarogya Setu. “It has helped identify bluetooth contacts of COVID positive users and issued alerts for helping people to stay safe. These bluetooth contacts have been advised for caution, quarantine or testing depending on the extent of exposure to covid-19 positive user. Amongst those who have been advised testing, almost 27% have tested positive. This is much higher compared to the overall positivity rate of 7-8%," it said.
