StaySafe.ph or Stay Safe is a digital contact tracing app launched by the Philippine government as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The mobile app was developed and published by MultiSys Technologies Corporation.[1]
Development
StaySafe was developed by Multisys Technologies Corporation for the Philippine government and is intended to be a national digital contact tracing system. StaySafe was launched by the Philippine government in September 3, 2020.[1] The mobile app system was turned over to the government on March 3, 2021.[2] The Department of Interior and Local Government holds ownership of StaySafe and it is supported by the Department of Health and the Department of Information and Communications Technology. It also is approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.[3]
