• ITMO University Scientists Create App to Calculate COVID-19 Infection Risks Based on Human Behavior

  During the current coronavirus pandemic, even leaving one’s home is always a risk. Each time, people are faced with a dilemma: going to the store or ordering delivery? Taking the subway or walking to work? ITMO University researchers have developed an application that demonstrates how tightening or loosening self-isolation and quarantine measures would have an effect on the infection rates in various countries. This project is a part of a larger initiative on the modeling of social processes in the conditions of a pandemic.

• Scientists Virtually Tested Decision Support System for Medicals

  Russian scientists from Saint Petersburg created a computer simulation to test a system coordinating the work of dispatchers, ambulance and hospital staff. The simulation results showed that the service can improve the decision efficiency of medical workers when caring for patients with a suspected heart attack. Now implemented virtually, the system can share some of its elements with medical practices as soon as next year, according to the developers. Their findings were published in the Future Generation Computer Systems.
