This will allow them to protect public health and remain economically sustainable during these types of infectious disease outbreaks.Ĭan you explain the goal of your research and how the project is structured? COVID-19 is affecting the health of communities large and small across North Carolina, and we are interested in understanding how the pandemic is impacting people’s travel in the state. This will allow them to better calibrate the amount of capacity they will need to treat COVID patients while also allowing them to continue to service other patients via important, but non-emergency, procedures.
ICU bed, ventilator) as much as one to two weeks in advance. Can you describe the goal of your research project? We are building predictive models with the intent of being able to give hospitals better estimates of the number of patients they can expect to enter the hospital and what equipment they will need (e.g. These losses were estimated to be as much as $1 billion per month in North Carolina alone. The result was a lot of unused hospital capacity and substantial reductions in hospital revenues. Many of these health care facilities responded to the first surge of COVID patients by shutting down all elective and non-emergency procedures, a prudent move, but masks and social distancing reduced the surge below worst case expectations. Can you explain problem that your research is addressing? Hospitals face difficult choices as they prepare for the huge surge in new patients coming as a result of an infectious disease outbreak such as COVID.

The project explores a palette of local and regional challenges together with societal partners in Norrköping/Linköping, Stavanger, Enschede, and Barcelona, aiming to achieve SDG 11 – sustainable cities and communities. The project brings together academic and societal partners from 4 ECIU Institutes, building on established collaboration with focus on societal transformation, citizen engagement, viable and smart cities. The "ECIU-Urban Transformations Collaboratory" project is a one-year Seed Project which is part of the European Consortium of Innovative Universitites (ECIU).
