AI for Global Disease Surveillance

Disease surveillance has been practiced for decades and continues to be an indispensable approach for detecting emerging disease outbreaks and epidemics. Early knowledge of a disease outbreak plays an important role in improving response effectiveness. In this article we presents the application of AI for the global disease surveillance systems. This also provides in depth survey that analyzes and evaluates existing syndromic surveillance system and related outbreak modelling and detection work under a unified framework. Many intelligent global disease surveillance systems have begun to emerge. To illustrate, we present the following study.
