This is exclusive for Dallas County. MyPCI is free to register and use. It is a secure, cloud-based tool that doesnt require personal health information and doesnt track an individuals mobile phone data. Instead, it is a sophisticated machine learning algorithm, geomapping and hot-spotting technology that uses daily updated data from the Department of Public Health on confirmed positive COVID-19 cases and the population density in a given neighborhood. Based on density and distances to those nearby who are infected, the MyPCI App generates a dynamic personal risk score.

We all know that proximity matters and its even more important now than ever while we work hard to get people vaccinated. Were very excited to put this information in the hands of Dallas county citizens so they have contextual awareness of whats happening around them and serve as a reminder of the things they can control: social distancing, face covering and hand hygiene.
