How Does Health Technology Enhance Disease Surveillance?

Modern health technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs) and mobile health (mHealth) applications, have revolutionized disease surveillance. These tools allow for the continuous collection of health data from various sources, enabling epidemiologists to detect and track disease trends more accurately. Additionally, geographic information systems (GIS) enable the spatial analysis of disease distribution, helping to identify hotspots and target interventions more effectively.
