Overview
Computational model can help society translate observations into an anticipation of future events, act as a test bed for ideas, extract value from data and ask questions about behaviors. A key feature of today’s computational models in health is that they are able to study a biological system at multiple levels, including molecular processes, cell to cell interactions, and how those interactions result in changes at the tissue and organ level. This enables safe and effective new therapeutics to advance more efficiently through the different stages of clinical trials. Simulation software is now starting to be used to develop highly accurate personalized human organs, medical devices and biologics. Today, simulation technologies can detect how these models will respond under stress or in any lifelike situation. When finally brought to market, the device will result in the highest levels of quality and safety for both patients and providers.
Aim
To evaluate performance, measure outcomes, and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Objectives
Utilize a validated agent-based model to project the HIV incidence in the state of Telangana from the year 2005, till year 2030. To understand the effect of some, select interventions on the HIV incidence for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Status of the project
The Agent Based modeling was performed specifically for prevention of parent to child transmission (PPTCT) intervention efficiency in Telangana state population synthetic and was completed.
