outbreak

outbreak visualizes the temporal progression and spatial distribution of infectious disease cases to track epidemic dynamics and support outbreak analysis.

Key Features:

• Animated temporal graphs: Displays animated graphs that illustrate temporal progression and dynamic timelines of case counts.
• Spatial distribution mapping: Maps geolocated cases to represent spatial distribution across geographic areas.
• Zoomable geographic resolution: Provides zoomable views that resolve geographic detail from cities down to neighborhoods for granular analysis.
• Integrated timelines and geolocations: Combines temporal and geolocation data to animate the spread of cases over time.

Scientific Applications:

• Epidemic visualization: Visualizes historical and ongoing epidemics including SARS (2003), MERS, and COVID-19.
• Local outbreak analysis: Enables examination of outbreak dynamics at city and neighborhood scales to inform targeted public health responses.

Methodology:

Generates animated temporal and spatial visualizations of geolocated case data with zoomable geographic views.
