It focuses on digital disease surveillance through the application of machine learning to non-traditional data sources. Developing countries are uniquely prone to large-scale emerging infectious disease outbreaks due to disruption of ecosystems, civil unrest, and poor healthcare infrastructure - and without comprehensive surveillance, delays in outbreak identification, resource deployment, and case management can be catastrophic. In combination with context-informed analytics, students will learn how non-traditional digital disease data sources - including news media, social media, Google Trends, and Google Street View - can fill critical knowledge gaps and help inform on-the-ground decision-making when formal surveillance systems are insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276907077783,"sku":"9783030479961","price":2938.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030479961.webp?v=1769286979","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/leveraging-data-science-for-global-health-9783030479961","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
