“Data from the app will give us a clearer picture of the development of the disease and why some people only experience mild symptoms while others get seriously ill and die”, says Paul Franks, professor of genetic epidemiology.

- which behavioural factors raise a person’s risk of adverse outcomes and how underlying health conditions affect risk
- how quickly the virus is spreading in different parts of Sweden
