Hawaii’s state-approved COVID-19 exposure notification system, the AlohaSafe Alert app, is set to be discontinued on May 11, according to the official alohasafealert.org website. The move coincides with the end of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency declaration. Launched at the start of 2021, the app’s primary function was to notify users if they had been exposed to COVID-19 through Bluetooth technology, which anonymously communicated with other phones that support the Google/Apple Exposure Notification framework. The app had reached 1 million activations as of July 2021. Users were able to self-report a positive home COVID test from June 2022 onwards. The app was created by the Hawaii Department of Health in collaboration with aio Digital and the Hawaii Executive Collaborative, and user privacy was protected as no GPS location or personally identifiable information was stored or collected.
