Abstract

In this work, we investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of using human contact traces collected from mobile phones to derive social community information to reduce the disease propagation rate in the healthcare domain. Our trace-driven simulation results showed that our scheme is highly effective, and thus opens more opportunities for utilizing social relationships information to support healthcare related applications.
