GLEAM (Global Epidemic and Mobility Model)

GLEAM (Global Epidemic and Mobility Model) is a computer simulation tool used to understand how infectious diseases spread worldwide. It combines data on human travel patterns—like flights and trips—with information about disease transmission. By analyzing these factors, GLEAM helps predict how an outbreak might grow, spread across regions, and impact populations. This allows health officials and researchers to plan better responses and containment strategies, making it a valuable tool for managing global health crises.
