In the solution, we used the existing Covasim agent-based model and the Synthpops synthetic population generator developed by the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM). These tools offered extensive simulation capabilities but lacked a user-friendly interface and support for new features.
We have enhanced Covasim and Synthpops with a user-friendly interface for importing data in different formats, enabling seamless integration. The system excels in simulating the dynamics of interregional travel and the emergence of new disease variants which offers valuable insights.
Extensive documentation is available to guide users through system operation and data entry. The ability to run components individually or chained together for a comprehensive assessment brought great flexibility in the use of the tool. Finally, the system generates customizable tabular reports that give users precise control over the information presented.
