    scientific method to simulate and predict disease behavior

    Disease Modeling is a scientific method used to understand how diseases develop and spread within populations. It involves creating mathematical or computational simulations to predict the course of a disease, evaluate potential interventions, and inform public health strategies. This approach is crucial for planning responses to outbreaks and understanding the dynamics of diseases like COVID-19, influenza, or even conditions like alopecia.
