integrating new technologies

What are the Key Technologies Being Integrated?

Several key technologies are currently being integrated into epidemiology, including:

Big Data Analytics: The ability to process and analyze large datasets enables epidemiologists to uncover patterns and trends that were previously undetectable.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): These technologies enhance predictive modeling and risk assessment, allowing for more accurate forecasts of disease outbreaks.

Wearable Devices: These gadgets can continuously monitor health parameters, providing real-time data on individual and population health.

Geospatial Analysis: Mapping technologies help epidemiologists visualize the spread of diseases and identify geographical hotspots.

Mobile Health (mHealth): Mobile applications and SMS-based systems facilitate data collection and public health communication, especially in remote and underserved areas.
