A number of tech companies over the past few weeks have devoted significant resources to the ongoing fight against the coronavirus. Earlier this month, for instance, Apple and Google announced an ambitious opt-in program — that operates via Bluetooth — that will allow users to see if they’ve come into close contact with anyone who previously tested positive for the coronavirus.
More recently, Microsoft today launched a brand new online screening tool called the CoVIg-19 Plasma Bot that helps individuals determine if they’re eligible to donate their plasma for coronavirus research purposes. Notably, Microsoft’s efforts here are part of the broader CoVIg-19 Plasma Alliance which is comprised of a number of highly regarded biotech companies.
