Analytics & Tools
Under this programme of work, ESCAPE is developing and sharing innovative tools and methods which can make the most out of the data available during future pandemics. We are building a modelling and inference ecosystem - including risk assessments, real-time analyses, projections and scenario models - to understand and project the transmission dynamics of Pathogen X, as well as cataloguing statistical approaches to infer key epidemiological parameters. To ensure that advances in modelling and data assimilation are translated into practice, this workstream is developing a suite of digital tools and frameworks to support decision-makers in selecting mitigation and control measures.
