Spatial Epidemiology
Early Warning and Automated Response System
editEarly Warning and Automated Response System (EWARS) is a system to support spatial decision support. Spatial pattern of risk and spatial allocation of resources according to risk is a primary objective
Mathematical Analysis and Processing of spatial Pattern and Processes
editFor spatial decision support the following basics are recommended for your learning steps:
- Moving Average is used to smooth spatial data. For this learning objective it is necessary to examine the the moving average in discrete and continuous setting and on image processing as a first step.
- (Health Maps and Animation) Analyse how to create a webbased heatmap with Leaflet[2] of OpenLayers for visualize spatial pattern of high risk areas for communicable diseases.
Learning Task
edit- (Capacity Building) Learn about international approaches to combine Capacity Building and Open Educational Resource for Global Health. Apply the ideas to Spatial Epidemiology and learning resource in sense of Think globally - act locally[3]!
- (Spatial Risk Map) Analyse the COVID-19 outbreak 2019/20 and check how a spatial risk map can be created by using webbased technology (see COVID-19/Time Series and COVID-19 Data).
