From the VRI’s Data Science division, Boris Hejblum, Mélanie Prague, Rodolphe Thiébaut and his team are leading a project on the monitoring of the COVID-19 epidemics in France with a focus in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Boris Hejblum, Mélanie Prague, Rodolphe Thiébaut and his team are leading a project on the monitoring of the COVID-19 epidemics in France with a focus in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France). They aggregate data from different sources such as Santé publique France (confirmed cases), SurSaUD and SI-VIC (hospitalisation), Bordeaux CHU data warehouse (SAMU, Sentinelle network, patient individual trajectories…). They recently published a preprint evaluating the effect of lockdown in France (publication link), which was cited by the scientific committee in their June 2nd, 2020 report. In collaboration with the Nouvelle-Aquitaine CIRE and ARS, they are now working on the development of a dashboard to early monitor the reproduction rate of the epidemics.
