Manually input usage situations having impact on attenuation #267

Open tangomanni opened 3 years ago

tangomanni commented 3 years ago

Current Implementation

IMHO I assume that the calculation of the risk score does not consider the position of the mobile phone in exposure situations. This might lead to too optimistic assumption about the distance between the involved mobile phones (in the end persons). The attenuation might be very low if the smart phone is in a jacket or a pocket even if there is a narrow distance.

Suggested Enhancement

Let the user of the app configure the actual situation in the app by a radio butten with options e.g. jacket/pocket etc., free, multiple or not known

Expected Benefits

risk calculation would be based on more realistic data ensuring the more risks would be classified as high.

There might be a relation to the issue Decision threshold for distance below two meters #34

Hey @tangomanni ,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have created an internal Jira ticket for the feature request (EXPOSUREAPP-3767) and forwarded it to the developers. The issue and its possible realization will now be discussed by the RKI and the development team. We will update you here on Github in this thread if we have any news regarding this topic.
