Technology has revolutionized epidemiology in several ways:
- Big Data: The use of big data analytics allows epidemiologists to analyze large datasets from sources like electronic health records and social media. - Geospatial Analysis: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help in mapping disease outbreaks and identifying spatial patterns. - Genomic Epidemiology: Advances in genomics enable the study of pathogen genomes, aiding in the tracking and understanding of infectious diseases.
