AI Use Case
Track and predict disease vector in general population
Analysing and predicting the trajectory of disease propogation in a population is critical to allow better mobilisation and targeting of scarce resources to combat the spread in a time-sensitive and high pressure situation. Using machine learning to support the process enables modelled predictions to be speedier and less resource-intensive - which can also lead to greater precision and specificity in outcomes.
