Citation Birrell P J, Pebody R G, Charlett A, Zhang X & De Angelis D. Real-time modelling of a pandemic influenza outbreak. Health Technology Assessment 2017; 21(58) Authors' objectives To advance state-of-the-art real-time pandemic modelling by (1) developing an existing epidemic model to capture spatial variation in transmission, (2) devising efficient computational algorithms for the provision of timely statistical analysis and (3) incorporating the above into freely available software. Authors' conclusions Following the objectives, this study found that timely, spatially disaggregate, real-time pandemic inference is feasible, and a system that assumes data as per pandemic preparedness plans has been developed for rapid implementation.
