    COVID-19 Hospital Impact Model for Epidemics (CHIME) – an open source application built by data scientists at Penn Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The online tool allows hospitals to better understand the impact the virus will have on hospital demand. Hospital leaders can use CHIME to “get more informed estimates of how many patients will need hospitalization, ICU beds, and mechanical ventilation over the coming days and weeks.” A user can input how many patients are currently hospitalized and see, based on other variables, how demand might increase over the coming days.

    City of Tokyo’s COVID-19 task force website created a comprehensive website that “aims to allow Tokyo residents, companies with offices in Tokyo, and visitors to Tokyo to grasp the current situation and take measures and precautions accordingly.” Unlike many other cities, Tokyo decided to open source its site. The project boasts contributions by more than 180 different users, and at least three other cities in Japan (Nagano, Chiba, and Fukuoka City) remixed the site. The project is an example of how cities can better serve their citizens by building openly.
