Optimal Containment of Epidemics in Temporal and Adaptive Networks
In this chapter, we focus on the problem of containing the spread of diseases taking place in both temporal and adaptive networks (i.e., networks whose structure ‘adapts’ to the state of the disease). We specifically focus on the problem of finding the optimal allocation of containment resources (e.g., vaccines, medical personnel, traffic control resources, etc.) to eradicate epidemic outbreaks...
متن کاملOptimal Containment of Epidemics over Temporal Activity-Driven Networks
In this paper, we study the dynamics of epidemic processes taking place in temporal and adaptive networks. Building on the activity-driven network model, we propose an adaptive model of epidemic processes, where the network topology dynamically changes due to both exogenous factors independent of the epidemic dynamics as well as endogenous preventive measures adopted by individuals in response ...
متن کاملMitigating Epidemics through Mobile Micro-measures
Epidemics of infectious diseases are among the largest threats to the quality of life and the economic and social well-being of developing countries. The arsenal of measures against such epidemics is well-established, but costly and insufficient to mitigate their impact. In this paper, we argue that mobile technology adds a powerful weapon to this arsenal, because (a) mobile devices endow us wi...
متن کاملAssessment of the effectiveness of supply-side cost-containment measures
This article assesses the arguments and evidence concerning the likely effectiveness of four supply-side cost-containment measures. The health planning efforts of the 1970s, particularly certificate-of-need regulations, had very limited success in containing costs. The new and related tools of technology assessment and practice guidelines hold some promise for refining benefit packages, but the...
متن کاملAssessing the Effectiveness of Health Care Cost Containment Measures
Assessing the Effectiveness of Health Care Cost Containment Measures Using SOEP panel data and difference-in-differences methods, this study is the first to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of four different health care cost containment measures within an integrated framework. The four measures investigated were introduced in Germany in 1997 to reduce moral hazard and public health expend...
