Prevalence and Mortality Analysis of Contagious Diseases through Visualization; A Quantitative, Data- Driven Study

We use data analytics and visualization tools and techniques for the prevalence, response and mortality of contagious diseases in general population, and particularly in Pakistan and its northern region province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Our study is used as a decision support system for clinicians, healthcare workers and particularly towards primary care workers such as nurses. The use of analytical tools are crucial and the need of the day in this modern technological world. We follow standard procedures of analysis and return our results in the form of statistical analysis and visualizations. We pay particular attention to the effects of several demographic and other variables on the incidence rate, prevalence and response towards contagious diseases and epidemics. These variables include age and gender distribution among population, their ease of access to healthcare facilities, human development index, life expectancy and distribution of age groups in the selected population. We cluster and differentiate among various population on the basis of geographical region, whereas the data is aggregated at continent, country, provincial/state and district level. We present our analysis through graphs, tables and trend lines. Furthermore, with each result, we also perform statistical analysis, and the proposed hypotheses are then proved and accepted only if they pass statistical tests with an over 95% confidence interval.
