Abstract

Project description Who: Consortium of experts in public health, eHealth, behavioral sciences, mathematical epidemic modeling, governance and data analytics. What: Interactive dashboards are being developed to support decision-making about local lockdowns. These dashboards are complementary to the dashboards developed by the Dutch government, because they contain new types of information: regional, current trends in risky behavior, and mobility between regions. When: October 2020 - March 2022. The first prototype dashboards will be available in early 2021. How: Mathematical models are used to quantify risk predictions and to develop an early warning system in the form of interactive dashboards. To achieve implementation, the response of policy makers is used as input to improve the dashboards. Why: This project helps in making informed regional decisions in a timely manner to contain the spread of the virus.
