Abstract:
As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing need for effective strategies to prepare for future health crises. Artificial Intelligence (AI), driven by comprehensive and up-to-date data, can play a crucial role in addressing such challenges. Focusing on Canadian data, this study demonstrates the importance of extensive data collection and its implications for global health crisis management. Using feature extraction and deep learning-based regression techniques, we identified key predictors of COVID-19, achieving an $R^2$ of 0.93 and 0.80 for predicting new cases and deaths. The results emphasize AI's potential in guiding data-driven strategies, stressing the need for global collaboration in data collection and AI deployment to prepare for future health crises.
