High-performance computing and machine learning is helping inform decision-making around COVID-19 due to research from the Vector Institute, an affiliate of the University of Toronto.
The researchers are able to process large amounts of data across Ontario’s health-care system, gaining a better understanding of the risk of spread in vulnerable populations, asymptomatic transmissions, resource allocation, social distancing measures and supply chains for essential medical supplies.
The Vector Institute is also offering privacy and security expertise to guide Ontario’s implementation of policies and procedures in collaboration with the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society at the University of Toronto.
