Electronic circuit implementation of the compartmental models for population dynamics of COVID-19 like epidemics

Modelling of population dynamics of epidemic diseases is crucial in developing effective strategies for curbing the diseases. It helps us identify the various parameters that can help control the epidemic if the modelling is done carefully. Physical modelling of the dynamics in the form of circuits and systems can augment the understanding of disease mechanisms. In this paper, we develop two electronic circuit models for realizing the dynamics of two compartmental models widely used in epidemiological studies. These models are important in the context of the current, rampant COVID-19 global pandemic. This innovative study will no doubt pave the way for developing electronic circuits and analog processing systems that can simulate the dynamics of more complex population models.
