HEALTH & BIOSCIENCES
Ailments and diseases affect all living organisms and impose a huge impost on government budgets. Great challenges abound in improving the delivery and cost effectiveness of the health system, and in being able to cope with newly emergent diseases. The same situation holds for animals and plants. For example, a highly infectious animal disease can cause economic and environmental havoc to a region, and the possibility of bioterrorism has become a prime concern for health planners.
DeciSci has been developing a capability to help understand and manage the outbreak of highly infectious diseases through the integration of disease models, geographical information, human decision making and other factors.
DeciSci is also collaborating with our university partners in trying to gain a deeper understanding of the functioning of the different systems in the human body such as the kidneys, using techniques from complexity and computer sciences. This effort relates to the grander World Physiome Project.
