Published Date: Dec 20, 2022

Abstract

Emerging infections are a continual threat to public health security, which can be improved by use of rapid epidemic intelligence and open-source data. Artificial intelligence systems to enable earlier detection and rapid response by governments and health can feasibly mitigate health and economic impacts of serious epidemics and pandemics. EPIWATCH is an artificial intelligence-driven outbreak early-detection and monitoring system, proven to provide early signals of epidemics before official detection by health authorities.
