At the start of the pandemic, #UofTEngineering student Shrey Jain developed flatten, a real-time virus data mapping tool. What started as a heat map for #Toronto has since gone global — leveraging #BigData to fight #COVID19 in Mogadishu, Somalia #E4TW 🌎: https://t.co/lcy5ZGCahm
I am thrilled to announce the outcomes of the syndromic surveillance research study in Mogadishu, Somalia 🇸🇴! @flattenofficial building the digital tools and execution by @DSU and partners: @EU_in_Somalia@NBerlangaEU@UNDPSomalia.
Short synopsis from my talk is below! 👇🧵(1)
The flatten team really accomplished something cool.
As a direct result of the volunteer work of undergraduate students in Canada, Mogadishu was able to better support displaced peoples through this crisis. Congrats @shreydjain13 and the whole @flattenofficial team.
Presenting now is the fantastic Shrey Jain from @flattenofficial who are based in Canada.
They supported us in collecting data through a tried & tested platform that has worked successfully in Canada.
Thank you @shreydjain13
