EpiLearn is a tool that helps us understand and predict the spread of diseases like COVID-19. It’s a special kind of software that makes it easy to work with big sets of data about epidemics. This toolkit is different from others because it lets users try out new ways of thinking about epidemic modeling, using powerful machine learning techniques. The tool can help people forecast where and when diseases will spread, as well as detect the source of outbreaks. It’s designed to be easy for both scientists and experts in public health to use.
