Multiscale heterogeneous optimal lockdown control for COVID-19 using geographic information.

Project description:We study the problem of synthesizing lockdown policies-schedules of maximum capacities for different types of activity sites-to minimize the number of deceased individuals due to a pandemic within a given metropolitan statistical area (MSA) while controlling the severity of the imposed lockdown. To synthesize and evaluate lockdown policies, we develop a multiscale susceptible, infected, recovered, and deceased model that partitions a given MSA into geographic subregions, and that incorporates data on the behaviors of the populations of these subregions. This modeling approach allows for the analysis of heterogeneous lockdown policies that vary across the different types of activity sites within each subregion of the MSA. We formulate the synthesis of optimal lockdown policies as a nonconvex optimization problem and we develop an iterative algorithm that addresses this nonconvexity through sequential convex programming. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach by applying it to six of the largest MSAs in the United States. The developed heterogeneous lockdown policies not only reduce the number of deceased individuals by up to 45 percent over a 100 day period in comparison with three baseline lockdown policies that are less heterogeneous, but they also impose lockdowns that are less severe.

Optimal responsiveness and information flow in networks of heterogeneous neurons.

Project description:Cerebral cortex is characterized by a strong neuron-to-neuron heterogeneity, but it is unclear what consequences this may have for cortical computations, while most computational models consider networks of identical units. Here, we study network models of spiking neurons endowed with heterogeneity, that we treat independently for excitatory and inhibitory neurons. We find that heterogeneous networks are generally more responsive, with an optimal responsiveness occurring for levels of heterogeneity found experimentally in different published datasets, for both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we introduce a mean-field model of heterogeneous networks. This mean-field model captures optimal responsiveness and suggests that it is related to the stability of the spontaneous asynchronous state. The mean-field model also predicts that new dynamical states can emerge from heterogeneity, a prediction which is confirmed by network simulations. Finally we show that heterogeneous networks maximise the information flow in large-scale networks, through recurrent connections. We conclude that neuronal heterogeneity confers different responsiveness to neural networks, which should be taken into account to investigate their information processing capabilities.

Optimal lockdown policy for vaccination during COVID-19 pandemic.

Project description:As the COVID-19 spreads across the world, many nations impose lockdown measures at the early stage of the pandemic to prevent the spread of the disease. Controversy surrounds the lockdown as it is a choice between economic freedom and public health. The ultimate solution to a pandemic is to vaccinate a massive population to achieve herd immunity. However, the whole vaccination programme is a long and complicated process. The virus and the vaccine will coexist for quite a long time. How to gradually ease the lockdown based on vaccination progress is an important question, as both economic and epidemiological issues are involved. In this paper, we extend the classic SIR model to find optimal decision to balance between economy and public health in the process of vaccination rollout. The model provides an approach of vaccine value estimation. Our results provide scientific suggestion for policymakers to make important decisions on how to gradually relax the strength for the lockdown over the entire vaccination cycle.

An interactive geographic information system to inform optimal locations for healthcare services.

Project description:Large health datasets can provide evidence for the equitable allocation of healthcare resources and access to care. Geographic information systems (GIS) can help to present this data in a useful way, aiding in health service delivery. An interactive GIS was developed for the adult congenital heart disease service (ACHD) in New South Wales, Australia to demonstrate its feasibility for health service planning. Datasets describing geographic boundaries, area-level demographics, hospital driving times, and the current ACHD patient population were collected, linked, and displayed in an interactive clinic planning tool. The current ACHD service locations were mapped, and tools to compare current and potential locations were provided. Three locations for new clinics in rural areas were selected to demonstrate the application. Introducing new clinics changed the number of rural patients within a 1-hour drive of their nearest clinic from 44·38% to 55.07% (79 patients) and reduced the average driving time from rural areas to the nearest clinic from 2·4 hours to 1·8 hours. The longest driving time was changed from 10·9 hours to 8·9 hours. A de-identified public version of the GIS clinic planning tool is deployed at https://cbdrh.shinyapps.io/ACHD_Dashboard/. This application demonstrates how a freely available and interactive GIS can be used to aid in health service planning. In the context of ACHD, GIS research has shown that adherence to best practice care is impacted by patients' accessibility to specialist services. This project builds on this research by providing opensource tools to build more accessible healthcare services.
