16-17 February 2012, Harvard International Conference on Digital Disease Detection, Boston, MA, USA
Sponsored by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this conference is being held to unite digital disease detection researchers and practitioners in formalizing this emerging field. Over the past fifteen years, Internet technology has significantly changed the landscape of public health surveillance and epidemic intelligence gathering. Disease and outbreak data is disseminated not only through formal online announcements by government agencies, but also through informal channels such as social networking sites, blogs, chat rooms, web searches, local news media and crowdsourcing platforms. Collectively, these online sources create an image of global public health that is fundamentally different from the one produced by traditional public health surveillance infrastructure. Talks from leaders in the field, technology demonstrations and discussions.
