Disease prediction and prevention using crowdsourced reports of environmental conditions

A system, comprising at least a first apparatus comprising:

• a first memory;
• and
• at least a first processor coupled with the first memory and operative:
• to receive one or more crowdsourced reports about one or more environmental conditions, the one or more crowdsourced reports being obtained over a network infrastructure from a plurality of distributed user devices;
• to infer one or more input parameters for at least one disease outbreak model based at least in part on the one or more crowdsourced reports;
• to apply the at least one disease outbreak model to at least the one or more inferred parameters to predict one or more characteristics of at least one potential disease outbreak associated with the reported one or more environmental conditions;
• and
• based at least in part on the predicted one or more characteristics, to implement one or more corrective actions to mitigate the at least one potential disease outbreak.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having machine-readable program code embodied therewith, said machine-readable program code comprising:

• machine-readable program code configured:
• to receive one or more crowdsourced reports about one or more environmental conditions, the one or more crowdsourced reports being obtained over a network infrastructure from a plurality of distributed user devices;
• to infer one or more input parameters for at least one disease outbreak model based at least in part on the one or more crowdsourced reports;
• to apply the at least one disease outbreak model to at least the one or more inferred parameters to predict one or more characteristics of at least one potential disease outbreak associated with the reported one or more environmental conditions;
• and
• based at least in part on the predicted one or more characteristics, to implement one or more corrective actions to mitigate the at least one potential disease outbreak.
