AGENDA:

19:05 am - Keynote
COVID19-Tracker and COVID19-Global: Shiny applications to produce comprehensive epidemiological data visualization for SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (Spanish)
Speaker: Aurelio Tobias - Associate Professor at the Spanish Council of Scientific Research in Barcelona, and Visiting Association Professor at the Nagasaki University.

Abstract:
Data visualization is an essential tool for exploring and communicating findings in medical research, especially in epidemiological surveillance. The COVID19-Tracker online web application systematically produces daily updated data visualization and analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Spain while the COVID19-Global works on a global scale. Both applications collect automatically daily data on COVID-19 diagnosed cases and mortality worldwide. We implemented comparative data visualization between countries for the most common indicators in epidemiological surveillance to follow an epidemic: attack rate, population fatality rate, case fatality rate, and basic reproduction number. These applications may help for a better understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.

Short bio:
Aurelio Tobias is Associate Professor at the Spanish Council of Scientific Research in Barcelona, and Visiting Association Professor at the Nagasaki University. He has a broad range of research interests with a common theme of applied statistical and epidemiological methods in environmental health studies. In particular, the application of time-series regression models in public health and statistical methods for meta-analysis. His current research interests focus on environmental epidemiology, studying the short-term effects of the air pollution and climate change on human health. He also collaborates at the European Educational Programme in Epidemiology and teach various short-courses in medical statistics and epidemiology.

What is PyData? PyData is a group for users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. We gather to discuss best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. We approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.
