Infrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time Biosurveillance
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the past two years, disaster preparedness has become an area of intense national focus. The threat of disease outbreaks, from naturally occurring pathogens or those maliciously introduced, has provoked a major response from the biomedical, public health, defense, and intelligence communities. A new information infrastructure and methods to support real time detection and monitoring of diseases, as well as their diagnosis and treatment, has rapidly emerged. This paper addresses the problems and promise of real time biosurveillance, with a particular focus on the role of informatics.

Biosurveillance and Outbreak Detection
Faced with the very real threat of bioterrorism, the critical need for early detection of an outbreak has shortened the time frame for major enhancements to our public health infrastructure. The early detection of covert biological attacks requires real time data streams revealing of the health of the population, as well as novel methods to detect abnormalities.

متن کاملBayesian Biosurveillance Using Multiple Data Streams
Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) records and over-the-counter (OTC) sales data are two of the most commonly used data sources for syndromic surveillance. Most current detection algorithms monitor these data sources separately, and either do not combine them, or combine them in an ad hoc fashion. This paper introduces a causal model that coherently combines the two data sources in order t...

متن کاملA Spatio-temporal Methodology for Real-time Biosurveillance
In this paper we introduce a new spatio-temporal methodology for biosurveillance entitled the Repeated Two-sample Rank (RTR) procedure. It is designed to sequentially incorporate information from individual observations and thus can operate on data in real-time as it arrives into an automated biosurveillance system. In addition, upon a signal of a possible outbreak, the methodology suggests a w...
