We have lived with the corona pandemic for a long time, both in Sweden and internationally. In a new collaborative project, researchers want to use AI methods, registers and mobile data to develop and evaluate applications that can be used to detect and combat pandemics in the future.

The researchers behind the project are Jonas Björk, professor of epidemiology at Lund University, Malin Inghammar, chief physician in infectious diseases at Skåne University Hospital and associate professor at Lund University, and Yana Litins'ka, postdoc researcher in public law at Lund University.
