Índice de Movilidad

Índice de Movilidad (Mobility Index) estimates human mobility in Mexico from Twitter data. It was produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, from March 2020 to April 2022, and was used by the Secretaría de Salud (Ministry of Health) as part of CONACYT’s Ecosistema Nacional Informático COVID-19 (National COVID-19 Informatics Ecosystem). The epidemiological models also used it as an input.

The underlying tooling is the text_models library, listed on this page under Text Classification.

The project page (in Spanish) is available at https://salud.conahcyt.mx/coronavirus/investigacion/proyectos/movilidad.html.

The scientific output is the paper A Python library for exploratory data analysis on twitter data based on tokens and aggregated origin–destination information, published in Computers & Geosciences (2022): https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2021.105012.
