WaKED-CO, an initiative by the French Ministry of Armed Forces, utilizes Elastic Cloud to enhance research on COVID-19 and future pandemics by streamlining access to scientific literature and data. Developed rapidly, the project aims to track the epidemic's evolution and assist stakeholders in decision-making by integrating diverse data sources, including peer-reviewed publications, through an elaborate ETL process. The platform, leveraging Elasticsearch and Kibana, enriches data with natural language processing techniques to improve searchability and accessibility, offering real-time monitoring and notifications for critical updates. Available on France's public COVID-19 platform since April 2020, WaKED-CO supports crisis management and scientific research with an average of 2,500 daily queries, containing data from over 1.2 million publications. The initiative continues to expand, with plans to utilize tools like Canvas to visualize scientific progress, aiming to serve as a comprehensive crisis management tool beyond the current pandemic.
