At the end of December 2019, a medical team made a remarkable discovery using a combination of Baidu search data and satellite imagery of hospital parking lots in Wuhan, China. They identified an unusual increase in searches for terms related to respiratory symptoms, as well as a surge in the number of cars parked at hospitals in the area.

These findings, through an application called HealthMap, were the earliest indicators of the outbreak of COVID-19, providing critical insights that would ultimately inform the global response to the pandemic.

Dr. Jessica Shepherd and Dr. Gautam Gulati sit down with John Brownstein, creator of HealthMap and a Yale University-trained epidemiologist who is a professor of biomedical informatics at Harvard Medical School and the Chief Innovation Officer of Boston Children's Hospital, to discuss the potential of tech to improve healthcare and tackle the challenges we face during crises like the pandemic.

John discusses HealthMap and Outbreaks Near Me, a crowdsourcing platform that collects data about symptoms, disease outcomes, and vaccine confidence. He also walks us through his insight into the successes and failures of the pandemic response.
