+ DAEDALUS Explore is an interactive dashboard tool that allows users to + simulate the health, education and economic impacts of hypothetical future + pandemic scenarios for {{ numberOfPandemics }} pandemics of varying severity in {{ numberOfCountries }} + countries. The {{ numberOfPandemics }} pandemics are informed by the characteristics of + pathogens that have caused historic pandemics. +
+The dashboard provides estimates of:
++ DAEDALUS Explore allows users to choose a country, a pandemic, and a + response amongst four options (no closures, school closures, business + closures, and elimination). Response is the mitigation that policy makers + can choose once the pandemic strikes. DAEDALUS Explore allows users to + explore the inherent trade-off between different response strategies. For + example, business closures may result in higher economic costs, but lower + deaths compared to a response that does not mandate closures. +
++ The losses associated with pandemics can be influenced by investments into + global vaccine R&D and manufacturing, and into hospital capacity. Users can + explore the impact of such investments on health, education and economic + pandemic impacts by comparing the outcomes of scenarios with different + investments. The impacts of all pandemic scenarios for the countries are + projected in terms of GDP loss (absolute, and in % of pre-pandemic GDP), + the long-term income loss caused by the interruption of education in schools, + and in terms of lost life years, valued in monetary terms. +
+ ++ DAEDALUS Explore is generated by the integrated economic-epidemiological + model DAEDALUS and uses publicly accessible data sources. For full details + on the underlying DAEDALUS model visit + GitHub + and read Haw et al (2022).1 +
++ The DAEDALUS Explore dashboard tool employs historical disease and policy + response data and is not updated in response to data generated from + real-time disease outbreaks. The dashboard is therefore not intended to be + used as a tool to predict the effects of real epidemic and pandemic + events, nor is it fitted to health/economic outcome data from previous + pandemics. +
++ Instead, by changing the dashboard’s pandemic characteristics, DAEDALUS + Explore illustrates the hypothetical societal value of differing pandemic + preparedness and response activities, and in doing so, endeavours to + supports effective future pandemic planning, preparedness and response. +
