Our results suggest that the multi-scale approach could be applied to help end the outbreaks in Guinea and Sierra Leone, and the generality of our model can be used to further evolve public health strategy for defeating emerging epidemics. We also find the travel restriction policies to be effective at reducing the risks associated with compliance substantially below the 40% level, shortening the outbreak and enabling efforts to be focused on affected areas. Abstract null null This study adopts a public value perspective to examine the eHealth services deployed by na Paolo Gerli, Emmanuel Ogiemwonyi Arakpogun. We find that increasing the budget for contact tracing beyond a certain threshold can significantly improve the identification of infected individuals but has diminishing returns in terms of. Simulations with a 50% compliance rate are consistent with the case counts in Liberia during the period of rapid decline after mid September, 2014. In our simulations, 40% of individuals conforming to this policy is enough to stop the outbreak. Our analysis shows community screening to be effective even at a relatively low level of compliance. 3 Next Era of Contact Tracing: Guidelines Our vision for the next era of digital contact tracing goes beyond mobile apps to be along the following guidelines: Focus on unknown contacts. We consider the development of multi-scale public health strategies and simulate policies for community-level response aimed at early screening of communities rather than individuals, as well as travel restrictions to prevent community cross-contamination. use human-based contact tracing, especially in USA, where it is estimated that 300,000 human contact tracers are needed for COVID-19 2, 9. ![]() Limited availability of contact information has made contact tracing difficult or impractical in combating the outbreak. Contact-tracing apps (CTAs), symptoms checkers and information portals are some examples of how eHealth can be deployed during a pandemic (Kretzschmar et. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in west Africa raised many questions about the control of infectious disease in an increasingly connected global society.
