Long Covid DALYs Scenario Simulator

Data visualization built with React, TypeScript, and Vite.

Partnered with PolyBio and University of California, San Francisco, health researchers are creating a data model that will determine how much disease burden can be eased in the future if HEPA filters or far UVC lights are installed in public buildings.

The funders of this project wanted a user-friendly way for policymakers to interact with the different scenarios of this project. I interviewed stakeholders, determined requirements, and built a project that allows users to visualize different scenarios and the resulting disease burden of Long COVID.
