Скачать или смотреть i-sense Q&A: Traditional and digital epidemiological surveillance and their place in a pandemic

Our i-sense virtual Q&A series highlights topics related infectious disease outbreaks preparedness and response – focusing on what we have learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, what we need to do to ensure we are ready to respond to the next infectious disease outbreak, and how can we better protect our population and healthcare systems now and in the future.

Each month we will explore different themes related to developing tools and technologies to track, test and treat infectious diseases. As preparing for and responding to an outbreak is a collaborative effort, we’ll gain perspective from experts in academia, government and policy, healthcare, and industry.

This month (February 2021) we discussed the topic 'Traditional and digital epidemiological surveillance and their place in the pandemic' with Dr Richard Pebody (WHO), Dr Daniela Paolotti (ISI Foundation), and Prof John Brownstein (Harvard Medical School). We talked about how traditional surveillance works for a normal flu season, what has been learnt from the pandemic, how digital technologies can help and hinder surveillance and more.
