# Academicians

PathCheck Foundation, in collaboration with The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the Alabama Department of Public Health, deployed the official Alabama statewide exposure notification app. We are aware that PathCheck Foundation is building longer term pandemic response solutions. UAB would like to support such innovation. Once such solutions are ready, we will conduct important due diligence before conducting a pilot.&#x20;

"Brazil has been severely affected by the current pandemic and top-down solutions have limitations. PathCheck foundation's bottom-up approach by incentivizing citizens in tracking symptoms, contacts and vaccination is unique. Engagement with citizens is necessary.

After receiving permission from authorities, at  Unifesp Federal University of São Paulo, we are eager to run a pilot with PathCheck foundation for engaging citizens for coordination in an outbreak"

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prep.pathcheck.org/testimonials/academicians.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
