The goal of this project is to develop a cross platform app that contextualizes incoming information during an infectious disease outbreak based on historical data. The app makes use of a surveillance window concept in order to support decision making. This effort is part of a larger project with the goal of developing reference tools and analytics to provide decision-makers with timely information to predict, prepare for, and mitigate the spread of disease.
