Analyzing the Impact of a Real-life Outbreak Simulator on Pandemic Mitigation: an Epidemiological Modeling Study

2022-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Operation Outbreak (OO), an app-based, educational outbreak simulator, seeks to engage, educate, and empower citizens to prevent and better respond to infectious disease outbreaks. We examine the utility of OO for further understanding and mitigating the spread of communicable diseases. The OO smartphone app uses Bluetooth to spread a virtual pathogen among nearby participants’ devices to simulat...
