Research Outline

Simulation Model of Disease Transmission (Figures 1-3)

Objectives:

  • Improve the preparedness for future pandemics;
  • Planning and evaluation of Non-medical Interventions (NMIs);
  • Ease of use across borders.

Methods:

  • Simulator with community scope;
  • Data Collaboration Techniques for privacy preserving;
  • Integration of data from different sources using DC and clustering;
  • Machine learning of mobility patterns for social simulation.

Disease Model Platform (DMP) (Figures 4-5)

  • Ingests detailed disease-demographics specific information;
  • Outputs a “disease trajectory” specific to one agent;
  • Allow much more specific disease detail, variants and new diseases.
