      What is EDDi?

      The plague, the Spanish flu, and COVID-19 - epidemics have always been part of human history and will continue to be a threat to global health in the future. At the same time, various actors in the public health sector are working together to counter infectious disease outbreaks and to track down their causes - real detective work! The Open Educational Resource EDDi - Epidemic Disease Detective Hamburg brings this work to life by providing an interactive training resource, designed primarily for use in higher education, and tells the story of an outbreak of disease in Hamburg …

      EDDi aims to introduce participants to real-world tasks and activities related to the detection and containment of disease outbreaks. To achieve this, a team of health scientists, epidemiologists, game designers, and developers, has created a hands-on educational scenario using game-based learning, which bridges the gap between theory and practice in a playful way.

      Who is the target group of EDDi?

      The primary target group are trainees in higher education (Bachelor, Master, PhD, advanced academic training) in the fields of health sciences, public health, epidemiology and medical science, but also other health care professions involved in e.g. outbreak investigation and control. In addition, EDDi allows individuals with an interest (and basic understanding) of infectious disease epidemiology and public health, but without a related educational profile, to experience outbreak investigation in a playful way and to explore infectious disease epidemiology.
