Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Infectious disease transmission occurs through daily human contact within urban environments.
  • Accurate modeling requires accounting for disease-specific parameters, including latent periods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, city-scale infectious disease transmission model.
  • To incorporate latent periods into disease modeling for improved accuracy.
  • To estimate model parameters using clinical data and daily life activity patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Marchuk's simple model, a system of differential equations, to simulate individual disease progression.
  • Employing the Marquardt method to minimize residuals between model predictions and clinical data for parameter estimation.

  • Constructing virtual families and assigning statistically derived 15-minute interval daily activity data (sleeping, eating, work, etc.) to simulate realistic contact patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • The model incorporates latent time, a crucial factor in disease dynamics, as demonstrated by Dr. Takeuchi.
    • A novel approach to parameter estimation using the Marquardt method is proposed for infectious disease models.
    • A simplified yet effective method for simulating population contacts based on detailed daily activity data is established.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed model offers a scalable and data-driven approach to understanding infectious disease transmission in urban settings.
    • The integration of latent periods and statistically derived contact patterns enhances the realism of the transmission model.
    • This methodology provides a framework for refining disease control strategies through accurate simulation.
