Human Factors

The emergence and spread of infectious diseases, like COVID-19, are on the rise. Can you identify patterns between population density and COVID-19 cases and identify factors that could help predict hotspots of disease spread?

VERO E6

Summary

Currently, the world is facing a pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19). This virus can cause severe respiratory diseases and full occupancy of the ICU beds. Studies suggest that human factors, such as population density, are related to their dissemination. Thus, we propose to VERO E6 a Machine Learning platform that correlates demographic data with other data, such as rate of infected, recovered, deaths, ICU beds and, among others, classifying cities by intensity of contagion.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The platform works with Machine Learning analyzing demographic data and data collected from the disease, aiming to classify the areas of cities by intensity of contagion.

How We Developed This Project

The possibility of using data analysis to predict contamination outbreaks, contributing to rapid applications of public health policies to save lives. The approach was to implement Machine Learning to process data and make correlations. Nasa data as a grid in Brazil was used to work with urban and rural areas. The project used for the back-end: python + google colab and for the front-end: react, yarn, node, github and languages as java script JSX, json, sass, git. No hardware and software was used: visual code.The biggest problem was the time and achievements as teamwork with different people made it possible to acquire new knowledge.
