About Quantum Risk Analytics, Inc.

We are a 501(c)(3) federally-tax-exempt charitable non-profit research organization founded by MIT alumni.


Our mission: To help mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic and future epidemics by developing and deploying robust risk assessment tools that predicts real-world infection, long-COVID, severe disease and mortality risk, thus empowering individuals, groups, and organizations to make better risk-informed decisions about their activities. Our larger mission is to address emergencies with analytics, and we will be branching out into other domains in the future.


Pandemonium is a COVID-19 Risk Assessment & Projection Model being developed by Quantum Risk Analytics, Inc. as its first product.

The basic framework of the model will allow for an arbitrary degree of demographic and spatial refinement where data is available as well as allow various submodels to be incorporated into the overall model making this a very extensive and extensible framework that can be used by researchers and others. (For more about our model design, please refer to the draft proposal on our website.)


Some key technical attributes of our model framework so far:


We continue to develop this model to include additional features, information & detail. We plan to make our model framework open-source around the same time that we launch our risk assessment app for general use.


Quantum Risk Analytics, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by MIT alumni, bringing together talented, motivated people from different countries and with diverse backgrounds.

We want to help as many people as possible, including and especially the more marginalized, both in the US and around the world. This is why we wish to make the service available to everyone for free and why Quantum Risk Analytics, Inc. is a non-profit organization. If you have the interest, commitment, and ability to contribute your skills while you gain experience and knowledge working on a real-world product, please apply!
