What Technologies are Used in Disease Surveillance?
Several technologies assist in disease surveillance:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs store and analyze patient data, making it easier to identify trends and outbreaks. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS mapping helps visualize the spread of diseases geographically. Mobile Health (mHealth): Mobile apps and devices help collect real-time health data from the field. Laboratory Information Systems (LIS): LIS track laboratory test results and help detect unusual patterns.
