Using digital surveillance tools for near real-time mapping of the risk of infectious disease spread
Abstract Data from digital disease surveillance tools such as ProMED and HealthMap can complement the field surveillance during ongoing outbreaks. Our aim was to investigate the use of data collected through ProMED and HealthMap in real-time outbreak analysis. We developed a flexible statistical mod...
