Objective
Companies are leveraging AI, and machine learning to create infectious disease forecasting. For flu predictions, researchers use data sets, Google searches, doctor's visits and academic research. ML can be leveraged to find hidden patterns within masses of disease indicator data.
Outcome
The application of machine learning and the use of artificial intelligence is currently changing the way the spread of the diseases is addressed by modelling the course of the virus and finding new strategies for containment. The information can be used for predictive models that forecast when and where flu activity increases in states and cities around the country.
