The Problem
As technology advances, there is opportunity for innovative infectious disease surveillance, or "digital disease detection" to supplement traditional disease surveillance measures. The Solution
A first of its kind, HealthMap is a machine learning tool that aggregates informal online sources, including news media and social media posts, from around the globe to track infectious disease outbreaks 24/7/365 in 15 functional languages. The freely accessible platform is used by highly recognized government institutions, including CDC, WHO, HHS, DOD and ECDC, as well as public health institutions and the public.
