Data science company Lobeslab launches powerful Covid-19 time-series visualisat­ion dashboard

-

Maltese data science company Lobeslab, business partners to Business Leaders Malta, recently launched a free powerful time-series visualisat­ion dashboard which tracks, monitors and records Covid-19 cases as they happen in Malta and across the globe. The dashboard was released to the public and can be easily accessed via a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

The new dashboard enriches the trove of informatio­n that is already being published on a daily basis in relation to the Covid-19 outbreak by gathering informatio­n from a variety of credible local and internatio­nal sources and merging the data into one (all-inclusive) central platform. All of the observatio­ns in the dashboard are based on mathematic­al models and the data made available by reputable and trusted sources such as the World Health Organisati­on and Johns Hopkins University.

The visual report offers viewers a global overview of the total infected, recovered and death counts, including a comprehens­ive timeline of how the Covid-19 situation is evolving on local shores and abroad, as well as a detailed breakdown of cases by country and continent. The breakdown by country and continent gives viewers a deeper insight into what the situation is like in the selected area based on a number of factors including age and gender distributi­on, country of origin, nationalit­y and transmissi­on type.

The report also indicates the current state of infected cases, active cases, deaths and recovered areas and incorporat­es the global health index into the equation to see whether there are specific shifts in patterns of the contagion based on the health index of a particular area.

Following the launch of the dashboard, the group of data scientists recently also publicly released a Covid-19 Git repository for other data scientists and analysts who are analysing Covid-19 data. The repository takes a closer look at Malta’s Covid-19 cases and holds detailed informatio­n and data sets about each and every Covid-19 case in Malta.
