Since WHO announced COVID-19 to be a pandemic, the dynamics of how we respond to it has changed tremendously. Similarly where a website where it provides verified news and data is no longer enough: covid19ai, the natural progression of CoronaTracker.
While CoronaTracker may have been a portal for verified news and statistics, it has also gathered immense amount of data that enabled researches to be conducted in various fields to better understand the impact of COVID-19, how to work on it, and recover from this aftermath when the time comes. These data will be part of the covid19ai open data lake project.
The current state of analysis work currently is highly fragmented. Data is everywhere and anywhere.
For swift actions to be taken in fighting COVID-19, we need to improve efficiency through an open data lake.
Empower researchers in relevant fields to uncover insights which may be limited by conventional methods.
The key is help researchers save time in figuring, looking, and getting data they need to efficiently progress their work.
Enable stakeholders to make well-informed decisions to best flatten the COVID-19 curve.
They need information to decided and act. Researches help to provide the information. COVID19AI is the material for researchers.
Here are the 6 research topics we are currently working on:
If any of these topics interests you, or you would like to explore new topics that this open data lake project may enable you, head to our research team slack channel.
Research Team Slack ChannelPlease spread our "Invitation of Participation" document across your social channels to maximize reach about who we are and what we need help with right now.
Our slack and trello as those are the main tools that are used right now. Get started by joining the group to know how you could contribute. You can always leave if it is not your calling.
