COVID-19 tracking
GuLF STUDY
COVID-19 Tracking App now Available!
Keep us informed about your health.

We hope you and your family are doing well in these challenging times. By sharing your experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak, you can help us understand the impact of the disease among GuLFSTUDY participants. As you may have heard, COVID-19 has proven difficult to track. We encourage you to take a few minutes each day to log your health status in the new COVID-19 Symptom Tracker.

The secure app was developed by public health researchers and a software company. It is free to download from the Android and Apple app stores. Many studies like ours are asking their participants to use the app so that researchers and public health officials can have good information on the spread of this disease and its symptoms.

We will not share your identifying information or study data with the app developers. Instead, they will send us the data you entered into the app about any COVID-related symptoms you may have had so that we can combine it with the exposure and health data you already gave us.

When you sign up for the app, if you say you are a member of a cohort and tell them you are in the GuLFSTUDY cohort, we will be able to use your information to learn about how this virus affects your health and the health of your community. We will learn how your environment and exposures, including as part of the oil spill clean-up, affected your risk for developing COVID-19 and if it will affect your health in the future.

Your use of the app will be most beneficial if we can link your responses to your study data. To help us link data from the app to your data, please do the following from your phone or tablet:



  • Enter the email address you plan to use for the app
  • Indicate whether you use an Android or Apple device
  • Download the COVID-19 Symptom Tracker
  • Join as a member of an existing cohort and complete consent form
  • Create account, update contact information and select the GuLF STUDY
  • Provide all the identifying information that is requested
  • Be sure to allow push notifications to receive daily reminders
  • Update your health status daily, whether you are sick or well
