(My Corona Podcast) Episode 9, part 2 - NHSX app: why it was abandoned, how it affects us all and what’s next...

In part two of My Corona Podcast's deep dive into the NHSX app saga, Hodgeythehack is rejoined by CEO of Open UK, Amanda Brock, whilst Paul Bernal, Associate Professor of Law at the University of East Anglia, joins the podcast for the first time. The trio assess the impact of the government's decision to abandon the development of its own contract tracing app and where that leaves the UK in terms of technology helping in the fight against COVID-19. The wide-ranging debate ranges from explaining the true difference between geeks and nerds, to looking at how the media reported these matters and what not just the government but all key stakeholders and public at large can learn from it.

(My Corona Podcast) Episode 9, part 1 - NHSX app: what might have been

In this podcast recorded before the UK government ditched the idea of developing its own NHSX track-and-trace app, three experts join Hodgeythehack to chat about how the state of play was a month ago – when the government was going full steam ahead with developing the technology. Digital Bulletin CEO Romily Broad explains how it would've worked, whilst OpenUK CEO, Amanda Brock, and Jonathan Martin, partner director at cybersecurity firm Anomali, debate the positives and negatives, the potential benefits and the major concerns around the NHSX app. Part two, coming later this week, will feature reaction to the decision to stop development.
