To get out of the health crisis, seven out of 10 Europeans say they are ready to share their personal data. It is seen as an opportunity to free themselves from health regulations in exchange for health, geolocation and contact data.

In June 2021, the French Senate presented a report advocating for a digital data collection platform to prevent or end future epidemics. This "toolbox" would allow the cross-referencing of data from different applications and thus take appropriate measures for each.
