AI Forecasting

Using AI and ML to forecast Covid-19 spreading.

Inspiration

Actual events with corona virus pandemic

What it does

The solution for this global issue, is the prevention of the major spreading of the virus. To achieve this, we have developed a software product for forecasting the spreading of the disease by using AI and ML.

How I built it

Using Power BI framework

Challenges I ran into

Getting datasets with following details

Daily tests by date, country, state/province, city, gender or age
Daily Confirmed by state/province, city, gender or age
Daily Death by state/province, city, gender, age or hospital
Serious and Critical Cases by date, hospital, country, state/province, city, gender or age

By having these details we can forecast spreading of the virus on e particular region, or city of a country.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We developed a prototype to forecast the number of new infections, recovered, and death cases with corona virus. With the information that this software will produce, the institutions will be oriented on focusing on regions which risk to be more exposed to infection, and they will be more prepared on taking precautions in treating, distribution of medical materials and human resources.

What I learned

Using this product will help the governmental or health institutions through forecasting on better planning of the resources in order of controlling and managing the major spreading of the virus.

What's next for AI Forecasting

This software will be valuable in many ways, but most importantly it will continue to provide the governmental institutions, health organizations, nongovernmental organizations with valuable information that they can use to do further analysis about the future consequences that the isolation and Covid-19 situation may have caused to the society and the market economy. Also, this product can be further developed so that it can be used in forecasting other aspects of life, like in education, healthcare etc.
