Researchers from IIT Delhi have developed web-based dashboard to predict the spread of COVID-19 in India.
The dashboard has been named PRACRITI-Prediction and Assessment of Corona Infections and Transmissions in India.
The dashboard provides basic reproduction number “R naught”.
R0 is the number of people that the virus spreads to from a single infected person.
The dashboard provides R0 value for every district, state based on the data available from the National Disaster Management Authority, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and World Health Organization.
Hence, with the help of R0 value, future predictions of the spread of the disease can be obtained.
