This project is part of the broader PREPARE programme of work, which seeks to improve the country’s preparedness for future pandemics and outbreaks. One aspect of Singapore’s response to COVID-19 that lagged behind other comparable countries was the lack of an infrastructure to share anonymised case data with academic researchers who could be co-opted into the response.
In this project, we will be developing algorithms and models that could be used during future outbreaks to inform on the current epidemiology and prospects for control. It is hoped that these approaches can be rapidly repurposed during any future outbreak on the TRUST platform.
