Influcast is the first Italian hub for epidemiological forecasts that aggregates estimates produced by different research teams about the future trends of influenza-like illnesses at both national and regional levels.
The project is coordinated and maintained by the ISI Foundation in Turin.
Influcast forecasts the evolution of influenza-like-illnesses by aggregating predictions from multiple models
