Embodiment Construction

[0043] The present disclosure generally relates to a method, system and apparatus for creating and analyzing an outbreak graph database for outbreak management. The graph databases disclosed herein are specifically configured to provide medical, location and / or temporal relationships between elements of an outbreak. The unique definition between elements of the graph database enables automatic determination of associations among multiple individuals with minimal input from the clinician. Example methods, systems, and apparatus disclosed herein are configured to perform certain defined analyzes on a graph database immediately upon receipt of the first suspected, probable, or confirmed case to determine the distribution, spread, and origin of an outbreak in near real-time .

[0044] In contrast to graph databases, traditional relational databases consist of tables of data. Link some data from different tables together using a unique key. Relational databases generally lend th...

Abstract

A graph database for outbreak tracking and management is disclosed. In an example embodiment, an outbreak management system includes a memory device storing instructions that define a graph database for disease outbreak tracking. The instructions specify for a given host that a host node is created and an episode node is connected to the host node via a 'case' link. The episode node is associatedwith episode parameters that are related to a disease classification of the host. In addition, the instructions specify that an outbreak node is connected to the episode node via a 'part of' link to indicate that the host has become part of an outbreak of the disease. The outbreak node is connected to a definition node via a 'defined as' link. The definition node specifies disease parameters of the disease that is related to the outbreak node.

Description

Background technique [0001] As of spring 2018, the world population was approximately 7.6 billion. The United Nations estimates that the population will reach 8 billion by 2024 and 9 billion by 2042. As the world's population increases, in addition to encroaching on undeveloped areas such as forests and grasslands, people will migrate to more densely populated suburban and urban areas. For example, the Philippine city of Manila has a population density of 107,000 people per square mile, while more populous Indian cities such as Mumbai have nearly 12 million people, with an average density of 73,000 people per square mile. [0002] In addition to population increasing and becoming denser, travel, such as air travel, is becoming more commoditized, enabling more people to travel greater distances. Rising wages for the world's middle class have enabled more people in the world to travel regionally, nationally or internationally. The globalization of commerce and trade has furth...
