How Do Technological Advancements Influence Access to Information?
Technological advancements have revolutionized access to epidemiological information. Electronic Health Records (EHR) enable the real-time collection of patient data, which can be aggregated and analyzed for epidemiological research. Additionally, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow for spatial analysis of disease patterns, providing insights into how diseases spread across different regions. The advent of big data and machine learning has also enhanced predictive modeling capabilities, helping to foresee potential outbreaks and allocate resources efficiently.
