EPIWATCH® uses AI and real-time global data to detect and monitor emerging epidemic threats.
-
EPIWATCH® is an AI system that curates real-time global data into an interactive dashboard of decision-support tools that enable users to act quickly on emerging threats. It includes climate and environmental data, such as rainfall, temperature, elevation and human and animal densities, to allow epidemics to be analysed in relation to these factors.
-
Pandemics and epidemics are an increasing threat to communities worldwide. Climate change exacerbates these risks, while geopolitical instability, censorship and inconsistent reporting create barriers to global surveillance and early warning. As a result, there is an urgent need for real-time threat detection to support governments and the private sector.
