Join us on Friday April 9th Noon-1pm EST to understand and share the following topics:
MIT
PathCheck Foundation
CCI and Good Health Pass
We are focusing on three main topics: (i) new emerging 'offline' credentials by MIT SafePaths (ii) apps for state residents and (iii) predictive analytic dashboards. Vaccination coordination is facing daunting challenges. Citizens are expected to navigate an array of websites and health authorities are using disconnected health IT systems. Reporting lags by several days. Following up with vaccinated subjects to monitor side effects is difficult. The systems to monitor ineffective batches of vaccines are yet to become mature. Vaccine verifications documents are prone to fraud. Can a new vaccination card simplify the user vaccination journey and create data-rich monitoring of the progress in vaccination? MIT, PathCheck and IDEO have developed a modification of today's vaccination cards to provide end-to-end encryption, vaccination tracking, and authenticated uploads to CDC systems like v-safe or VAMS. The card dramatically simplifies phased vaccinations, second dose coordination, reporting of side effects, and credentials using an accompanying off-line app. It also creates data-rich monitoring of vaccination progress while eliminating red tape, privacy-concerns, and fraud. It is ideally suited for vulnerable populations, rural areas, labor unions of essential workers, and employers helping their own employees. Predictive analytical dashboard can provide actionable insights for researchers and policymakers

We will discuss two topics: (i) Paper Cards and Apps to empower citizens in vaccination rollout and (ii) Agent-based modeling and machine learning tools for planners and researchers.
A new agent-based modeling tool evaluates the consequences of social behavior on viral spread during the vaccination phase by simulating the effects of increased social interaction post-vaccination. The new tool compares and analyzes viral spread and the effects of interventions, in real-time, across varying configurations of infection and disease transmissions. It supports several COVID-19 interventions (Quanatine, Fast Test, PCR Test, Vaccination, Digital Exposure Notification) and scales to large agent populations (>100,000). The new modeling tool, a novel tensor calculus based, agent-based model (ABM) framework with an associated COVID-19 simulation tool, helps unite ABMs and scalable deep learning and can be implemented on GPUs.
On January 26, we'll bring together leaders in technology, design, and healthcare to discuss this advancement in ABM frameworks and its potential utility for researchers and policymakers as well as other tools to simplify the vaccination user's journey.
