About Smartpolis
Smartpolis is a big metropolitan city with a population of around 2 million people. In the past few days, doctors and nurses in the hospitals of Smartpolis have monitored a significant increase in admits.
The initial observation is the commonality of flu-like symptoms such as chills, sweats, headaches, pains, fever, fatigue, breathing issues, vomiting, diarrhea, among others. Because of this, a number of deaths have been associated with the outbreak of flu within the city. Smartpolis governors are worried about an epidemic, and want to boost emergency medical resources to minimize the impact.
Two datasets have been provided. The first one contains microblog messages collected from various devices with GPS capabilities. These devices include laptop computers, handheld computers, and cellular phones. The second one contains map information for the entire metropolitan area. The map dataset contains a satellite image with labeled highways, hospitals, important landmarks, and water bodies. Supplemental tables for population statistics and observed weather data are also provided.
We have been provided with 2 data-sets. One with microblogging platform tweets collected from many GPS enabled devices. They include laptop computers, handheld computers and mobile phones. The other data-set contains map coordinates for the whole of Smartpolis. We are also given an image with marked highways, hospitals, important landmarks and water bodies. Additionally, tables for population statistics are also available at our disposal.
The objective of this project:
- Find the ground-zero location on the map image provided, carve the affected area and enlist the corresponding conclusion.
- Apply a theory to how the flu is being transmitted in Smartpolis ie. the mode of spreading of the flu. For example, airborne, waterborne etc. Support this theory with proof.
- Assess if the flu transmission is immutable and also if it's important for the Smartpolis emergency management officials to boost treatment services outside of the affected areas. Support your statement with proof.
