Various technologies are employed to create automated reports in epidemiology:
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs): These systems collect patient data that can be used for surveillance. - Data Mining: Techniques to extract patterns and trends from large datasets. - Machine Learning and AI: To predict outbreaks and identify risk factors. - Geographic Information Systems (GIS): For mapping disease spread and identifying hotspots. - Web Scraping: To gather data from online sources like news articles and social media.
