Automated biosurveillance systems have emerged as key solutions for mitigating current and future health-related events. Focusing on this promising public health innovation, \u003cstrong\u003eBiosurveillance: Methods and Case Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e discusses how these systems churn through vast amounts of health-related data to support epidemiologists and public health officials in the early identification, situation awareness, and response management of natural and man-made health-related events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book follows a natural sequence from theory to application. The initial chapters build a foundation while subsequent chapters present more applied case studies from around the world, including China, the United States, Denmark, and the Asia-Pacific region. The contributors share candid, first-hand insights on lessons learned and unresolved issues that will help chart the future of biosurveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs this book illustrates, biosurveillance operates in a complex, multidimensional problem space that incorporates varied data. Capturing the progress of modern-day pioneers who are walking in John Snow's footsteps, this volume shows how contemporary information technology can be applied to the age-old challenge of combating the spread of disease and illness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45239816650903,"sku":"9780367383411","price":5768.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367383411.webp?v=1769223614","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/biosurveillance-methods-and-case-studies-9780367383411","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
