Digital Disease Surveillance for Health Systems

Digital Disease Surveillance for Health Systems
February 07-09, 2025
Program Coordinator: Dr. Suresh Munuswamy

Background

Disease surveillance is a key function of health systems management as there is a perennial threat and rapid rise of several communicable, non communicable diseases and new emerging threats to health systems. Public health surveillance (PHS), as a tool for monitoring diseases, identifying anamolies in data and targeting interventions, is described as the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, tightly integrated with the timely dissemination of these data to those who can undertake effective prevention and control activities. With the availability of digital and internet technologies, which is now part of every one’s life, PHS is changing, expanding and becoming more granular with hyper local meta data. In addition to existing sources of information, every minute, people around the world are directly, publicly sharing volumes of personal and communal health information on different digital platforms, such as social media, discussion forums and blogs, and Internet search engines. In addition there are an expanding array of new sensors, new analytical tools and new visualization techniques leading wider oppurtunities that is supercharging the PHS ecosystem
The interactivity of the Internet and the highly networked, hyperlocal, and contextualized nature of digital data offer an unparalleled opportunity for health care stake holders to address health care challenges as they emerge in real time or as rapidly as possible. Surveillance platforms of today can also be potentially expanded to profile service criticisms, mining patient’s narratives about disease and treatment experiences on open-access forums, geospatial tracking of the population during disease outbreaks, providing local and near real-time information to recognition of an outbreak and population-based clustering of behavioural risk factors to intervene actively in real time or as rapidly as possible. The 3 day program on “Digital Disease Surveillance for Health Systems” is designed to expand, elevate the understanding of disease surveillance thru the digital vision, data in context, mining for real time analytics, network effects, making health sytems more strategically prepared and responsive to emergencies.
