Most projects involve social coordination in various settings to maximize social distance, reduce delays, or assist the elderly and immune‑compromised, using websites and apps of course. But some are more complex, involving medical resource allocation, analysis of anonymized social data, and medical imaging interpretation for use in less sophisticated health care environments.
