Machine learning-based decision support systems can help clinical practice during an epidemic. Efficient diagnostic and accurate prediction of patient outcomes can ultimately lead to effective medical resource management. In contrast to traditional approaches, machine learning algorithms enable feature selection and design of non-linear models that improve prediction of clinical outcomes, and on-line training techniques allow upgrading of decision support systems, as the data regarding the epidemic increases
