This is a great resource. I’ve also started collecting information on all contact tracing apps being released worldwide. This is at https://cov19tech.org - to share as an open resource. The source code for the site is on GitHub and the content is all CC licensed. If anyone would like to help, please get in touch

Edit: I submitted Cov19Tech as a Show HN earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23395475

Hi HN,

I'm the initiator of https://cov19tech.org. I've started to collect information on the variety of contact tracing / exposure notification being built across the world. The website itself is open source (https://github.com/Cov19tech/cov19tech), all the content is Creative Commons licensed and I'm hoping to get interested users to help collect information on this rapidly evolving area of the tech world. Right now the content on the site is fairly sparse - largely a table summarizing the approaches of about 30 different apps as well as a couple of more detailed write-ups on some of the apps in draft form. I'll be adding write-ups on each app in the coming days. This will hopefully give technically-inclined folks a way to understand and evaluate how these are being implemented across the world. I'd like to see if there is interest in having such a resource available, as well as see if there are people who would like to help out. Eventually, I'd like to start covering more than just contact tracing apps - and have sections on other technologies that are being applied to helping stop the spread of COVID-19.

Please do share any thoughts/comments/feedback you have!

Our products leverage real-time mobile measurements with data analysis and modeling to create truly personalized just-in-time interventions. We are helping people and their clinicians detect and characterize their mental health from passively available data from their mobile phones.

We are funded by the NIH as well as seed investors, and we work with researchers, hospital/healthsystems, as well as pharma companies. You can read a recent news article here: http://www.mobihealthnews.com/content/healthrhythms-behavior...

Our mission is to redefine not only how we measure and treat mental illness, but how we optimize wellbeing as a whole. If being one of the first 10 employees at a promising startup in healthcare sounds exciting to you, please get in touch.

Positions:

Backend Engineer (Python, AWS) - Our backend runs on AWS, is primarily built in Python, and uses services such as AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, RedShift, etc. We are looking for someone who is well versed in both Python and AWS. Responsibilities will involve automating and scaling our current data pipeline, as well continuing to build out our data capture and data analytics capabilities.

Details are here: https://healthrhythms.com/jobs/backend-engineer-jan-2018.pdf

Full-Stack Engineer - We are additionally looking for an engineer that can help with both our front and backend. We have a set of web dashboards that researchers and clinicians use to view and interact with the data we capture. Our dashboards use Angular (though we are considering moving to React) and our backend is built with Python. You'll be responsible for building out our dashboard capabilities and helping implement the APIs and infrastructure (built on AWS) used to power the dashboards. Depending on your skill set (e.g. more backend focussed) there are similarities with the Backend Engineer position posted above

Details are here: https://healthrhythms.com/jobs/full-stack-engineer-jan-2018....

Data Scientist - We are looking for a mid or senior level data scientist to help drive our efforts in data analysis and machine learning. Primary responsibilities will include analyzing our sensor data to better charecterize patients' behavioral patterns, and developing algorithms for personalized just-in-time interventions to assist patients whose mental health is deteriorating.

It's really exciting that this work is being recognized with a Nobel Prize. The company I'm working with (HealthRhythms - https://healthrhythms.com) is building products for understanding circadian rhythms and other behavioral patterns as they relate to mental health. There is an interesting body of research that suggests that understanding behavioral patterns and rhythms can help diagnose mental health conditions. And conversely, working with patients to correct and regularize their rhythms can be helpful in treatment. Here is a paper by one of our founders related to rhythm-based therapies in bipolar disorder:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3202498/

As a company, we are using data from mobile phones (GPS, accelerometer, etc) to build rhythm profiles based on individuals' sleep, activity, movement, and phone use patterns. These profiles are then used to build personalized treatment programs to help people correct their rhythms. If you are interested in working on any of these, please do drop us a line ([email protected]). We are looking for iOS developers and backend (Swift/Objective-C) developers (AWS and Python). I also posted in the Who's hiring thread so you can look there for more details

10gen develops and supports MongoDB - and we are looking for good people to help grow product, sales, maketing, support etc. We are hiring for a lot of positions! We're looking to hiring - Solution architects - Evangelists for Java, Node.js, Ruby, Python. - Database engineers - Web/Graphic designers - Product Marketing - Sales & sales engineers (and a whole lot more).

You can check out our list of open positions here http://hire.jobvite.com/Jobvite/Jobs.aspx?b=nq4bNgwd

and please do drop me a line if you are interested - [email protected]

I've been with the company for almost two years now, and have learnt tremendous amounts while having great fun along the way. Here is a post I wrote a couple of months ago about why I work at 10gen: http://noshpetigara.com/post/7091732384/why-i-work-at-10gen-...

Hope to hear from you!

true to an extent (about performance), which is why I used the qualifier 'probably'. I should have said may instead! I think Eliot's comment sums it up pretty well: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-2407?focusedCommentId...

@rbranson - if you have thoughts on ways to improve, please do add them to http://jira.mongodb.org :)

There are a few projects in the works to improve the experience for doing aggregation and analysis with data stored in MongoDB:

- Using V8 instead of spidermonkey [Will probably lead to better performance for MongoDB's map reduce] https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-2407

- New aggregation framework [Will make it easy and fast to do simple aggregations] https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-447

There is also Hadoop adapter that read and write directly from/to MongoDB that is in an early stage https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-hadoop
