What Are Some Examples of Digital Health Platforms?
Several digital health platforms have made significant contributions to epidemiology:
1. Flu Near You: This is a crowdsourced platform where users report flu symptoms, allowing for real-time tracking of flu outbreaks. 2. HealthMap: This tool uses online news aggregators, eyewitness reports, and official data to track infectious disease outbreaks globally. 3. Google Flu Trends: Although no longer operational, this platform once used search query data to estimate flu activity.
