How the Delta Variant Impacts Vaccination Strategies
During the global vaccine rollout, Klick Consulting and Applied Sciences took a keen interest in tracking the data and manually scraped daily case and death counts to understand the impact of vaccines as they became more widely available. Our findings illuminate relative successes between the First-Dose-First and Full-Dose vaccine strategies as the delta variant emerged.

A Digital Canary in the Coal Mine for New COVID Variants
It's time for social media and machine learning to join the fight against COVID-19. Imagine if these tools were being used to analyze billions of data points a day to detect new variants and medical consequences in near real time. Just like how miners once used canaries as warning tools in the coal mines, social media could be providing the warnings we need about COVID-19 mutations to help stop the spread.

COVID-19 Intubation Box
Protecting healthcare practitioners.
A simple piece of protective equipment that could make a difference in the fight against the outbreak. The New England Journal of Medicine has just published a video showing the effect of the intubation box.
In partnership with Klick Health and Italic Press, rapid localization (adjusting dimensions to match North American hospital beds and body sizes), prototyping, and distribution to Toronto area hospitals began within days. It is our hope to provide protection to physicians intubating patients across the Greater Toronto Area and North Eastern United States.
