RabDash DC: A Rabies Data Analytics Dashboard
|
Following the STOP Rabies and RabCast projects, the two successful research initiatives of UP Mindanao together with its collaborating institutions, our third research project is finally on the move. Big thanks to CHED DARE-TO and DOST-PCHRD for funding the projects, respectively.
The purpose of the Dashboard Project is to develop a proof-of-concept for a forecasting tool that can be used to predict the number of rabies cases in Davao City and to advance proactive strategies for the control of rabies. This dashboard was designed by the team to enable the results from mathematical, statistical, spatial, and genomic analysis to be communicated to CVO and the general public in a manner that is more refined and comprehensive. |
