The Corona Data Donation app, available for download in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, is voluntary and data would be processed anonymously. To register, users should enter their postcode, age, sex, height and weight.
Data shared by their connected devices would be monitored on an ongoing basis, with telltale readings such as a high temperature or disturbed sleep indicating whether an individual may have come down with COVID-19.
Project leader Dirk Brockmann said he hoped 100,000 people - or 10% of Germany’s smartwatch and fitness tracker users - would sign up.
