Evaluation of Praedico™, A Next Generation Big Data Biosurveillance Application

چکیده
Introduction The National Strategy for Biosurveillance promotes a national effort to improve early detection and enable ongoing situational awareness of all-hazards threats. Implicit in the Strategy’s implementation plan is the need to upgrade capabilities and integrate multiple disparate data sources, including more complete electronic health record (EHR) data into future biosurveillance capabilities. Thus, new biosurveillance applications are clearly needed. PraedicoTM is a next generation biosurveillance application that incorporates cloud computing technology, a Big Data platform utilizing MongoDB as a data management system, machine-learning algorithms, geospatial and advanced graphical tools, multiple EHR domains, and customizable social media streaming from public health-related sources, all within a user friendly interface.
