 s\, and the comparative impact of health systems on COVID-19 transmission.
 \n\n\n\nWith a penchant for data-driven solutions\, Dr Vivek has been invo
 lved in developing and implementing mathematical\, time-series\, and machi
 ne-learning models to forecast the spread of infectious diseases\, includi
 ng dengue\, COVID-19\, and hand\, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). He strong
 ly advocates the integration of data and compassion in creating a promisin
 g future in healthcare. He relentlessly strives to reduce the time gaps in
