Data collection in epidemiology can be extensive and varied. Sources include:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Patient data from hospitals and clinics. Wearable Devices: Health metrics from fitness trackers and smartwatches. Social Media: Public health trends and outbreaks can be tracked through social media platforms. Genomic Data: DNA sequencing information that can help understand genetic predispositions. Environmental Sensors: Data on pollution, climate, and other factors affecting public health.
