HealthMap

HealthMap is an established global leader in utilizing online informal sources for disease outbreak monitoring and real-time surveillance of emerging public health threats. The website and mobile app 'Outbreaks Near Me' deliver real-time intelligence on a broad range of emerging infectious diseases. HealthMap brings together disparate data sources, including online news aggregators, eyewitness reports, expert-curated discussions and validated official reports, to achieve a unified and comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious diseases and their effect. HealthMap has been matching the public’s thirst for ebola information as the disease spread. The group has presented a historical account of Ebola’s spread, from the very first mentions of the case in online news reports. The group has also modeled the spread of the disease, and offers projections for how many it could fell, in each of the three countries infected so far.
