Abstract

This project will build machine learning models to track infectious disease outbreaks like COVID-19 and guide non-pharmaceutical interventions using wastewater surveillance. It aims to analyze epidemic trends within communities, leveraging wastewater information into tracers for the origins and spread of diseases. The developed platform will support decision-making in disease control, especially for low and middle income countries like Indonesia, with limited clinical surveillance.
