Abstract

This project will empower COVID-19 decision makers by developing a data fusion system to bring together key expertise from disparate sources to improve the holistic understanding of COVID-19. A prototype system could provide, for example, daily forecasts of ICU bed demands for each NHS region in the UK to help decision makers agree appropriate social distancing measures.
