The SoteriaApp project was inspired by the need to provide the public with a platform that would help protect the public from harm now and in the future, and help the UK and other countries by giving them a tool to defeat COVID-19 and get back to normal faster. Having a tech partner like Zuse Digital as the pillar of this not-for-profit endeavour has been critical to getting the App BETA testing within 2 weeks of the initial conversation has been an incredible effort. The ability of the Zuse Digital team to understand a highly complex situation and distil this down to a smooth UX was vital. This was a tech sprint relay, and to have a partner like Zanyar and all the team at Zuse Digital has been vital to producing a world-class App with incredible speed.
