Infectious diseases, such as the recent Ebola outbreak, can be especially dangerous for large communities on today’s highly connected world. Countermeasures can be put in place if one is able to predict determine which people are more vulnerable to infections or have been in contact with the disease, and where. Contact location, time and relationsh...

A transmission-treatment-donation-stockpile model was originally formulated for the 2014-2015 West Africa Ebola outbreak in order to inform policy complication of large scale use and collection of convalescent blood as an empiric treatment. Here we reduce this model to a three dimensional system with a single delay counting for the duration between...
Background:
Responding to health crises overseas can be both rewarding and distressing for staff involved.
Objective:
We interviewed UK staff involved in the 2014/15 Ebola response to identify experiences that positively or negatively affected them.

We conducted qualitative telephone interviews with 30 Public Health England (PHE) staff...
Real-time forecasts of infectious diseases can help public health planning, especially during outbreaks. If forecasts are generated from mechanistic models, they can be further used to target resources or to compare the impact of possible interventions. However, paremeterising such models is often difficult in real time, when information on behavio...

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) growth poses interesting challenges to industry, concerning issues such as scalability, network security, energy management, network monitoring, among others. Several Artificial Intelligence tools can be applied to address many of current ICT challenges. This chapter describes the practical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in two main classes of problems: AI for the Internet of Things and Cloud, and usage of AI techniques to manage faults and security issues in traditional Telecommunication networks. Therefore, we will present our research work for the application of AI into different domains, describing for each the current state-of-the-art, and the implemented solution together with the main experimental results. This chapter will demonstrate various benefits achieved from adding an intelligent layer to ICT solutions, in various domains. Finally, we will also address future developments.
