Webinar: Predicting symptomatic COVID-19
ZOE and King's College data science and machine learning teams have been working around the clock to create a machine learning model that uses Symptom Tracker data to predict COVID-19 in the UK. Based on data from the COVID Symptom Tracker app and the assumptions that we lay out below, we estimate that there are a total of 1.9m people in the UK with symptomatic COVID (aged 20-69 only) as of 1st April 2020. Jonathan Wolf, CEO of ZOE explains the model in our webinar below. You can find a daily feed of maps here. We used machine learning* on this data to learn which symptoms are most predictive of a positive test.
