EPIWATCH® is a proven epidemic intelligence and early warning observatory.
It uses AI and machine learning to monitor global data, around the clock and in 54 languages, to detect the early signs of an outbreak and give authorities the best.
-
EPIWATCH® uses machine learning (ML) and AI to persistently monitor global data, including news casts, social platforms and medical reporting, to identify early signals of an outbreak prior to detection by health authorities. Where other data sources may be interrupted, censored, or unreliable, EPIWATCH® keeps users in the picture with validated situational awareness. The aim is to give public and private sector decision-makers the best chance of preventing or mitigating an epidemic.
-
- Traditional medical reporting of pandemics and epidemics is delayed, hindering the speed at which decision-makers can implement mitigation strategies.
- Investment in pandemic planning focuses on drugs and vaccines that are administered after the infection has already spread.
