Uncover the Origin and Epidemic Spread through Visualization
Smartpolis is a major metropolitan area with a population of approximately two million residents. During the last few days, health professionals at local hospitals have noticed a dramatic increase in reported illnesses. Observed symptoms are largely flulike and include fever, chills,sweats, aches and pains, fatigue, coughing, breathing difficulty, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and enlarged lymph nodes. More recently, there have been several deaths believed to be associated with the current outbreak. City officials fear a possible epidemic and are mobilizing emergency management resources to mitigate the impact.
Objective
- Origin of Epidemic Spread: Identify approximately where the outbreak started on the map (ground zero location) and outlining the affected area.
- Epidemic Spread: Present a hypothesis on how the infection is being transmitted. For example, transmitted through person-to-person, airborne, waterborne, etc.
- Containment Is the outbreak contained? Is it necessary for emergency management personnel to deploy treatment resources outside the affected area?
Visualisation Software
To achieve the objectives, the software listed below are used to perform the visual analysis :
