How Does Technology Facilitate Real-Time Collaboration?
Technology plays a pivotal role in enabling real-time collaboration. Platforms such as [GIS](https://www.cdc.gov/gis/) for mapping disease spread, [cloud computing](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/factsheets/factsheet_cloudcomputing.pdf) for storing and sharing large datasets, and [telemedicine](https://www.who.int/health-topics/telehealth#tab=tab_1) for remote consultations have revolutionized epidemiological practices. Additionally, [machine learning](https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/ehs/docs/ml-forecasting-outbreaks.pdf) algorithms can predict outbreak patterns, allowing for proactive measures.
