Summary
Epidemiology
Debian Med epidemiology related packages

This metapackage will install tools that are useful in epidemiological research. Several packages making use of the GNU R data language for statistical investigation. It might be a good idea to read the paper "A short introduction to R for Epidemiology" at http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/%7Ebxc/Epi/R-intro.pdf

Description

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Med mailing list

Penn Medicine - COVID-19 Hospital Impact Model for Epidemics

This tool was developed by the Predictive Healthcare team at Penn Medicine. For questions and comments please see our contact page. Code can be found on Github. Join our Slack channel if you would like to get involved!

The estimated number of currently infected individuals is 533. The 91 confirmed cases in the region imply a 17% rate of detection. This is based on current inputs for Hospitalizations (4), Hospitalization rate (5%), Region size (4119405), and Hospital market share (15%).

An initial doubling time of 6 days and a recovery time of 14.0 days imply an R_0 of 2.71.

Mitigation: A 0% reduction in social contact after the onset of the outbreak reduces the doubling time to 6.0 days, implying an effective R_t of 2.712.712.71.

EpiFire is a C++ applications programming interface (API) that does two things:

  • Model the spread of an infectious disease in a population
  • Generate and manipulate networks of nodes and edges

While the network code can be used independently from the epidemiological code and vice versa—they are conceptually and functionally distinct—from the beginning, the libraries were developed to be compatible with each other. What EpiFire excels at is simulating the stochastic spread of disease on contact networks.

NetEpi, which is short for "Network-enabled Epidemiology", is a collaborative project to create a suite of free, open source software tools for epidemiology and public health practice. Anyone with an interest in population health epidemiology or public health informatics is encouraged to examine the prototype tools and to consider contributing to their further development. Contributions which involve formal and/or informal testing of the tools in a wide range of circumstances and environments are particularly welcome, as is assistance with design, programming and documentation tasks.

This is a tool for conducting epidemiological analysis of data sets, both large and small, either through a Web browser interface, or via a programmatic interface. In many respects it is similar to the analysis facilities included in the Epi Info suite, except that NetEpi Analysis is designed to be installed on servers and accessed remotely via Web browsers, although it can also be installed on individual desktop or laptop computers.

The software was developed by New South Wales Department of Health.

Contributions which involve formal and/or informal testing of the tools in a wide range of circumstances and environments are particularly welcome, as is assistance with design, programming and documentation tasks.

NetEpi Case Manager is a tool for securely collecting structured information about cases and contacts of communicable (and other) diseases through Web browsers and the Internet. New data collection forms can be designed and deployed quickly by epidemiologists, using a "point-and-click" interface, without the need for knowledge of or training in any programming language. Data can then be collected from users of the system, who can be located anywhere in the world, into a centralised database. All that is needed by users of the system is a relatively recent Web browser and an Internet connection ("NetEpi" is short for "Network-enabled Epidemiology"). In many respects, NetEpi Case Manager is like a Web-enabled version of the data entry facilities in the very popular Epi Info suite of programmes published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in the Danish EpiData project, which is available for several languages. The software was developed by the Centre for Epidemiology and Research of the New South Wales Department of Health, with contributions from Population Health Division of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

The software was developed by New South Wales Department of Health.
