How Do Epidemiological Models Aid in Predictive Analytics?
Epidemiological models use mathematical and statistical techniques to predict the spread of diseases and the potential impact of interventions. These models can forecast the future burden of diseases, helping healthcare providers prepare and allocate resources efficiently. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, epidemiological models predicted the spread of the virus, informing clinical decisions on hospital capacity, resource allocation, and lockdown measures. Predictive analytics thus play a vital role in proactive healthcare management.
