Advances in technology have significantly enhanced outbreak detection capabilities: 1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Facilitate rapid data collection and sharing among healthcare providers and public health authorities. 2. Mobile Health (mHealth): Mobile applications and devices can collect real-time health data and report potential outbreaks. 3. Machine Learning and AI: Advanced algorithms can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and predict outbreaks. 4. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS): GIS technology can map disease cases and identify geographic clusters.
