Our project aims to develop a simulation tool that can be used by policy makers and healthcare experts to examine the inefficiencies and high costs associated with medical service delivery to low-income elderly and disabled populations in urban areas.

Create an individual-level agent model identifying the needs and and requirements of the target populations and how they may change over time based on gathered data from Boston. Develop a larger, macro-scale model simulating environmental determinants of health care access and outcomes.

Agents: Underserved Population, Health Service institutions Parameters: Socioeconomic Status, Walkability, Public Transit, Safety, Amenities, Social Services. Software: Agents Based Modeling Software in AnyLogic Regulations: HIPAA, Local Government Healthcare Policies Budget: Expected Low Budget
