System and method for vessel infectious disease importation risk assessment

Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for vessel infectious disease importation risk assessment. This includes receiving vessel data from one or more sources, wherein the vessel data includes infectious disease data, determining a rendezvous history of the vessel based on the vessel data, determining a port visits history of the vessel based on the vessel data, determining the vessel disease burden based on the port visits history, the rendezvous history, the infectious disease data and a period of crew social exchange outside the vessel, determining the vessel disease progression dynamics based on the vessel disease burden and the vessel time of arrival at destination, and determining, at the processor, the infectious disease importation risk assessment associated with the vessel disease progression dynamics.
