Abstract | The support provided by geographic data and the corresponding processing tools can play an essential role to support decision-making process, especially for public healthcare during the current pandemic outbreak of the COVID-19. Geographic data collection may be challenging when is necessary to obtain precise latitude and longitude, for example. The current chapter presents a new tool for the geographic location prediction of new cases of COVID-19, considering the confirmed cases in the city of Fortaleza, capital of the State of Ceara, Brazil. The methodology is based on a sequential approach of four clustering algorithms: Agglomerative Clustering, DBSCAN, Mean Shift, and K-Means followed by a two-dimensional predictor based on the Kalman filter. The results are presented following a case study approach with different examples of implementation and the corresponding analysis of the results. The proposed technique could generally predict the trend of the infection geographically in Fortaleza and effectively supported the decision-making process of public healthcare analysts and managers from the Secretariat of Health of the State of Ceara. |
