Predictive data analysis techniques for optimal traversal of infection networks

Abstract

Solutions for more efficient and effective traversal of infection networks are disclosed. In one example, a method includes identifying a plurality of candidate traversal paths for the traversal agent object; for each candidate traversal path of the plurality of candidate traversal paths, determining a cross-node infectious encounter profile that defines one or more predicted infectious encounters for the traversal agent data object, determining a predicted total viral particle inhalation (VPI) measure for each predicted infectious encounter of the one or more predicted infectious encounters, and determining a path risk score based at least in part on each predicted total VPI measure for a predicted infectious encounter of the one or more predicted infectious encounters; determining the optimal traversal path based at least in part on each path risk score for a candidate traversal path of the plurality of candidate traversal paths; and performing one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the optimal traversal path.
