Topic: Preserving Health Equity in a Global Pandemic Model

Abstract

In an era of increasingly complex global health threats, pandemic modeling must evolve to reflect not only the spread of disease but the lived realities of those most affected. This talk presents a groundbreaking simulation platform developed for the World Health Organization Pandemic Hub—a global pandemic model capable of simulating any infectious disease across geographies and scales, from continental overviews to neighborhood-level granularity.
