This project involving participatory modelling, and funded by I-DAIR, the International Digital Health and AI Research Collaborative, is based on the premise that, to contain the pandemic through accurate, real-time and data-driven measures, it is urgent to establish collective intelligence capabilities that involve all stakeholders.
The project has been conceived as having different stages over the next five years. ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Macau is currently involved in a pilot study focusing on Vietnam, Kenya and Brazil and aimed at addressing how to effectively manage patients and resources available in a hospital and its surrounding communities such that citizens can play an active role in the response and develop broad disaster resilience in the context of a pandemic crisis. The goal is to work with local communities in these three countries to co-create and roll out digital or analog participatory modelling artifacts to explore this issue.
The project team is led by ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Macau¡¯s Head of Research Dr. Serge Stinckwich and includes also ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Macau¡¯s Research Fellow Mr. Joel Kuria.
