PIVOT: Private and Effective Contact Tracing [PDF]
IEEE Internet of Things Journal, 2022 We propose, design, and evaluate PIVOT, a privacy-enhancing and effective contact tracing solution that aims to strike a balance between utility and privacy: one that does not collect sensitive information yet allowing effective tracing and notifying the close contacts of diagnosed users.

Addressing contact tracing challenges—critical to halting Ebola virus disease transmission
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Background: Delayed and ineffective contact tracing contributed to the extensive transmission of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the 2014–2015 West African outbreak. Understanding and addressing the challenges to implementing and managing contact tracing is
