ESID: A Visual Analytics Tool to Epidemiological Emergencies
Visual analysis tools can help illustrate the spread of infectious diseases
and enable informed decisions on epidemiology and public health issues. To
create visualisation tools that are intuitive, easy to use, and effective in
communicating information, continued research and development focusing on
user-centric and methodological design models is extremely important. As a
contribution to this topic, this paper presents the design and development of
the visual analytics application ESID (Epidemiological Scenarios for Infectious
Diseases). The goal of ESID is to provide a platform for rapid assessment of
the most effective interventions for infectious disease control. ESID provides
spatial-temporal analysis, forecasting, comparison of simulations, interactive
filters, and accessibility options. In its current form, it shows the
simulations of a hybrid graph-equation-based model as introduced in for
infection control. The model can be stratified for different age groups and
takes into account the properties of the infectious disease as well as human
mobility and contact behaviour.Comment: 6 pages, 5 images and 1 table, Eurovis workshop on visual analytics

ESID: Exploring the Design and Development of a Visual Analytics Tool for Epidemiological Emergencies
Visual analytics tools can help illustrate the spread of infectious diseases and enable informed decisions on epidemiological and public
health issues. To create visualisation tools that are intuitive, easy to
use, and effective in communicating information, continued research
and development focusing on user-centric and methodological design models is extremely important. As a contribution to this topic,
this paper presents the design and development process of the visual
analytics application ESID (Epidemiological Scenarios for Infectious Diseases). ESID is a visual analytics tool aimed at projecting
the future developments of infectious disease spread using reported
and simulated data based on sound mathematical-epidemiological
models. The development process involved a collaborative and
participatory design approach with project partners from diverse
scientific fields. The findings from these studies, along with the
guidelines derived from them, played a pivotal role in shaping the
visualisation tool
