Integrating patient metadata and pathogen genomic data: advancing pandemic preparedness with a multi-parametric simulator.

ABSTRACT: Stakeholder training is essential for handling unexpected crises swiftly, safely, and effectively. Functional and tabletop exercises simulate potential public health crises using complex scenarios with realistic data. These scenarios are designed by integrating datasets that represent populations exposed to a pandemic pathogen, combining pathogen genomic data generated through high-throughput sequencing (HTS) together with patient epidemiological, clinical, and demographic information. However, data sharing between EU member states faces challenges due to disparities in data collection practices, standardisation, legal frameworks, privacy, security regulations, and resource allocation. In the Horizon 2020 PANDEM-2 project, we developed a multi-parametric training tool that links pathogen g
