Limited testing poses challenges to mapping COVID-19 spread
Jessica Cohen of ModernHealthcare reports on companies that are trying new approaches to map the COVID19 outbreak – and mentions Jvion’s COVID Community Vulnerability Map along with insights from Dr. John Showalter, CPO of Jvion. “Using data on demographic and socio-economic factors, some companies are working to develop tools that they say identify areas particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 spread, based on possible risk factors and social determinants of health. That could help hospitals and health agencies prioritize outreach to at-risk populations, such as campaigns reminding people in specific neighborhoods or counties to stay indoors or wash their hands, said Dr. John Showalter.”
