چکیده
Introduction Biosurveillance Portal (BSP) is a web-based enterprise environment that is aimed to facilitate international collaboration, communication, and information-sharing in support of the detection, management, and mitigation of biological events in Korea. In Oct 2013, Republic of Korea (ROK) Ministry of National Defense has made the project agreement with United States (US) Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office of Chemical and Biological Defense to develop Biosurveillance Portal which will provide tools and capabilities to facilitate timely identification and detection of biological events to minimize operational impacts on ROK-US Forces. As a part of this project, Armed Forces Medical Command (AFMC) undertook the initiative to develop the Military Active Realtime Syndromic Surveillance system.
