Interactive Data Driven Visualization for COVID-19 with Trends, Analytics and Forecasting

Interactive dashboards process and present raw data in the form of visuals, graphs, and text along with various options for user interactions. The dashboards allow for extracting valuable information and showcase the data in an intuitive and easy to understand manner. As the world is battling with the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed an interactive data-driven dashboard to not only view the current trends, but to also display important analytics and projections for the upcoming week. Built using python modules Dash and Plotly for visualization, the proposed dashboard utilizes the data analytic capabilities of the Pandas python library to structure and organize the raw data efficiently. Our dashboard is lightweight and designed for optimal performance. It can update values dynamically and be loaded onto any web server. Moreover, our proposed solution performed the best when compared to three other COVID-19 solutions, in terms of performance and speed, page size, and the number of HTTP requests.
