Our developers are creating a new halt data collection feature. Using this feature, a researcher could unregister a phone from inside the web interface, and that would block the phone from uploading any further data. The phone might continue to collect data (if the patient hasn’t uninstalled the app), but it would just sit on the phone in an encrypted state, and it wouldn’t be possible for the patient (or anyone who obtains the patient’s phone) to decrypt it. Once the patient uninstalls the app, all data collected by the app that’s still on the phone would be automatically deleted.
Anticipated launch: Spring 2021
