Dynamic Systems Modelling and Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Techniques in Biomedicine and Public Health

Dynamical systems modelling is a mathematical approach to studying the behaviour of systems that change over time. These systems can be physical, biological, economic, or social in nature, and they are typically characterized by a set of variables that evolve according to certain rules or equations. CAS (Complex Adaptive Systems) models are a specific type of dynamical systems model that…

Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Approach to Biomedicine & Public Health

While a majority of biomedical and public health research still maintains a linear reductive approach to arrive at empiric insight, reality is in most cases neither of these things. A complex adaptive systems approach, like reality, is non-linear and high dimensional. There are many benefits from taking a linear cause-effect reductivist approach in that the complex problem and it’s solution…
