This document discusses risk communication principles for influenza events. It begins by defining risk communication and explaining its importance for public health responses. It describes how the public perceives risks and how perceptions are influenced by factors like control and familiarity. The document outlines lessons from past outbreaks that effective risk communication requires building trust, acknowledging uncertainty, coordination, transparency, and involving affected communities. It recommends steps for risk communication including knowing when and to whom to communicate and translating scientific information for different audiences. The key principles of risk communication are creating and maintaining trust and understanding public concerns.
The document provides an overview of computational epidemiology through three sentences:
It discusses the history and basic concepts of computational epidemiology, from early mathematical models of diseases like smallpox and cholera to modern networked and data-driven approaches. Computational epidemiology uses mathematical and computational methods to study disease transmission and inform public health responses to epidemics. The field aims to attract computing and data scientists to help address open problems through frameworks like graphical dynamical systems.
20200405 MEDical INTelligence Platform INTRO.pdffcoalberto
The document describes the Medical Intelligence Platform (MIP), an AI-powered software that can help detect disease outbreaks through digital surveillance of multiple data sources. MIP processes data sources like social media, medical reports, and scientific literature to generate alerts about potential disease outbreaks. It also helps decision-makers respond to outbreaks by organizing relevant information through medical taxonomies and monitoring social impacts and public sentiment. MIP aims to support more timely disease detection and response compared to traditional surveillance methods.
The document describes a COVID-19 risk perception monitoring system in Finland developed by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) to analyze public risk perceptions in real time. The system qualitatively analyzes data from social media and public emails using a risk perception framework. Bi-weekly risk communication recommendations are drafted based on the analysis and discussed among public health experts. The system provides context-specific risk communication approaches but requires significant resources and expertise. Future plans include automating data retrieval and expanding data sources.
IT is playing a key role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic through various technologies:
1. Remote health monitoring, telemedicine, and chatbots allow virtual doctor visits and patient engagement while maintaining social distancing.
2. AI and machine learning are used to track, monitor, and predict the spread of the virus through tools like contact tracing apps and analysis of medical images and data.
3. Digital technologies help distribute reliable health information and ease anxiety through online wellness apps.

Understanding Public Perceptions of Immunisation Using Social Media - Project...UN Global Pulse
This project examined how analysis of social media data could be used to understand public perceptions on immunisation. In collaboration with the Ministry of Development Planning (Bappenas), the Ministry of Health, UNICEF and World Health Organisation (WHO) in Indonesia, Pulse Lab Jakarta filtered tweets for relevant conversations about vaccines and immunisation. Findings included identification of perception trends including concerns around religious issues, disease outbreaks, side effects and the launch of a new vaccine. The results built on Global Pulse’s previous explorations in this field, confirming that real-time information derived from social media conversations could complement existing knowledge of public opinion and lead to faster and more effective response to misinformation, since rumours often spread through social networks.

Effective surveillance is critical for rabies elimination programs to detect outbreaks early, track disease spread, and judge program success. Traditional surveillance methods can be supplemented by innovative approaches like mobile phone reporting to shorten detection time. Surveillance data is needed on case numbers and distribution to target resources effectively. Maintaining surveillance is also important after a country achieves rabies-free status to detect any re-emergence of the disease. Synergistic investment across human and animal health sectors is needed to strengthen surveillance capacities for preparedness against infectious disease threats like rabies.
La INFODEMIA es un neologismo que expresa la sobreinformación que sobre un tema se genera, en algunos casos de forma precisa y en otros no, y que hace difícil a las personas encontrar fuentes fiables para encontrar orientación cuando se necesita. Este gran volumen de información de un tema específico en un corto periodo de tiempo origina una “infoxicación”, es decir, una intoxicación por información. Si esta intoxicación se asocia a una pandemia actual (como la COVID-19) el término infodemia guarda un razonable parecido, teniendo en cuenta que en el “totum revolutum” es campo sembrado para los dimes y diretes, para la rumorología, la información errónea y la manipulación de las noticias con intenciones dudosas. En la era de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación, de la Web 2.0, 3.0, 4.0… y las que vengan, este fenómeno se amplifica a través de las redes sociales, ese patio de vecinos sin control, extendiéndose más y más rápido que un virus esta información inválida o tóxica: de ahí el término “viralización”.
Si juntamos los efectos del virus SARS-CoV-2 con los efectos de la viralización de las redes sociales, y teniendo en cuenta dos principios conocidos en la comunicación periodística (que una buena noticia no es noticia y que las falacias se difunden más rápido que las verdades), tenemos el cóctel perfecto para crear el caos, el miedo y la COVIDofobia.
Y para que conste la preocupación por la infodemia basta revisar el documento adjunto de la PAHO (Pan American Health Organization), miembro de la Wordl Health Organization, donde se exponen algunos datos de interés para conocer la dimensión de este problema: en el último mes se han volcado 361 millones de vídeos en YouTube en relación con el tema de la COVID-19 y cerca de 20.000 artículos sobre el tema en Google Scholar, así como 550 millones de tweets en un mes que incluían el término COVID-19 o pandemia.
Es crítico disponer del acceso a la información, pero en el momento adecuado y en el formato adecuado. Hoy todo gira sobre lo mismo. Desayunamos, comemos, merendamos, cenamos y hasta dormimos con la misma noticia, visto desde tantas perspectivas y con tantos autoproclamados expertos que ya nos sabemos a qué atenernos. En este ambiente de infodemia, donde campa a sus anchas la prensa amarillista y los que sientan cátedra con la osadía de su desconocimiento, no se pueden aplicar los principios de calma y coherencia tan necesarios para la toma de decisiones.

This document provides an overview of integrated vector management (IVM) strategies for controlling vector-borne diseases in humanitarian emergencies. It discusses the increased risk of diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika during crises due to deteriorating living conditions. The toolkit recommends using a combination of vector control tools tailored to the specific emergency context through evidence-based decision making, collaboration, and community engagement in line with global IVM principles. Case studies demonstrate effective IVM implementation in past humanitarian responses to natural disasters and conflicts.
Empowering consumers with improved immunization intelligence through technolo...Michael Popovich
This document discusses empowering consumers with improved immunization information through technology and social frameworks. It provides three key points:
1) Historical examples show that providing individuals with public health information highly motivates them to take actions that stem disease spread.
2) Technology, like immunization registries and consumer access tools, can consolidate immunization records and empower individuals with their vaccination history.
3) Personal stories illustrate how improved access to immunization records helped identify a missed vaccination and motivated a company to increase flu shot rates among employees, reducing absenteeism.

A hybrid (event-based and indicator-based) platform designed to streamline the collaboration between domain experts and machine learning algorithms for detection, prediction and response to health-related events (such as disease outbreaks or pandemics). The platform helps synthesize health-related event indicators from a wide variety of information sources (structured and unstructured) into a consolidated picture for analysis, maintenance of “community-wide coherence”, and collaboration processes. The platform offers features to detect anomalies, visualize clusters of potential events, predict the rate and spread of a disease outbreak and provide decision makers with tools, methodologies and processes to investigate the event.
RIFF - A Social Network and Collaborative Platform For Public Health Disease ...InSTEDD
The document discusses public health disease surveillance and syndromic surveillance. It describes how public health surveillance involves ongoing collection and analysis of health data to support public health programs and prevention/control efforts. Syndromic surveillance monitors pre-diagnostic health data to identify potential cases/outbreaks requiring a public health response. The document advocates adopting a social and collaborative decision-making approach to facilitate early identification and assessment of potential health threats in order to recommend control measures.
This document provides guidance on establishing national child maltreatment surveillance systems in European countries. It recommends:
1) Conducting community-based surveys every 4-7 years using standardized questionnaires to measure past-year and lifetime prevalence among nationally representative samples of students aged 13-15.
2) Using one of three established child abuse questionnaires (ICAST, JVQ, ACE-IQ) or a shorter alternative (SCMQ) to allow comparisons across countries.
3) Employing self-report methods, ensuring anonymity, and obtaining passive consent to prioritize ethical standards and participation rates.
4) Optional additional monitoring through parent reports, agency data, or sentinel surveys for situations where student surveys are not feasible.
The document discusses strategies for promoting demand for COVID-19 vaccines during rollout. It outlines communicating objectives such as ensuring eligible groups receive vaccines confidently with accurate information. Key approaches include advocacy through leaders, social mobilization engaging stakeholders, and producing communication materials. The document also emphasizes addressing vaccine hesitancy by responding to concerns empathetically and countering misinformation through trusted community members and sources. Risk communication plans include defining crisis, responding to rumors and issues, and providing up-to-date information through media.
Supporting epidemic intelligence, personalised and public health with advance...Joao Pita Costa
Today, our everyday access to technology permits a health monitoring that can complement the traditional methods in Healthcare and Public Health. In this paper, we present some of this available technology, with a particular focus on disease detection, topological data analysis, and media monitoring tools, made available by the AILAB at the JSI and the ISI Foundation. This technology is ready to be adapted to research and commercial problems in the context of health systems.
Epidemic Alert System: A Web-based Grassroots ModelIJECEIAES
This document summarizes research on web-based epidemic alert systems. It discusses how most current systems analyze large amounts of unstructured data from various online sources using complex algorithms, which can generate imprecise results given the lack of standards. The document then proposes a new grassroots web-based system that collects structured data directly from primary health centers, hospitals, and laboratories. This traditional approach uses threshold values based on percentiles to determine when an epidemic is triggered. If adopted, it could help standardize web-based disease surveillance.
Disease outbreak detection, monitoring and notification systems are increasingly gaining popularity since
these systems are designed to assess threats to public health and disease outbreaks are becoming
increasingly common world-wide. A variety of systems are in use around the world, with coverage of
national, international and global disease outbreaks. These systems use different taxonomies and
classifications for the detection and prioritization of potential disease outbreaks. In this paper, we study
and analyze the current disease outbreak systems. Subsequently, we extract features and functions of
typical and generic disease outbreak systems. We then propose a generic model for disease outbreak
notification systems. Our effort is directed towards standardizing the design process for typical disease
outbreak systems.

Orchestrating the Future: Navigating Today's Data Workflow Challenges with Ai...Kaxil Naik
Navigating today's data landscape isn't just about managing workflows; it's about strategically propelling your business forward. Apache Airflow has stood out as the benchmark in this arena, driving data orchestration forward since its early days. As we dive into the complexities of our current data-rich environment, where the sheer volume of information and its timely, accurate processing are crucial for AI and ML applications, the role of Airflow has never been more critical.
In my journey as the Senior Engineering Director and a pivotal member of Apache Airflow's Project Management Committee (PMC), I've witnessed Airflow transform data handling, making agility and insight the norm in an ever-evolving digital space. At Astronomer, our collaboration with leading AI & ML teams worldwide has not only tested but also proven Airflow's mettle in delivering data reliably and efficiently—data that now powers not just insights but core business functions.
This session is a deep dive into the essence of Airflow's success. We'll trace its evolution from a budding project to the backbone of data orchestration it is today, constantly adapting to meet the next wave of data challenges, including those brought on by Generative AI.

2. Outline
● Introduction to infodemiology and
infovelliance (the traditional and social-
content media on the Internet)
● Concept of Social Listening in Veterinary
medicine
● Example on Avian Influenza in mammals AD
2024
● Example on Animal rescue during Flooding
(June 2024 in Germany
3. INFODEMIOLOGY
Infodemiology is concerned with the study of the demand
(e.g. search engine queries) and supply (social media content
creation or commenting) trajectory of information, which was
strongly articulated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Monitoring actual (real-time) and declarative
attitudes should, in the WHO's view, be a
priority for local decision-makers.
4. INFOVEILLANCE
Infoveillance deals with the analysis of web content to predict biological
phenomena. Its most important advantage is the possibility of early
warning (e.g. participatory reporting), or forecasting or improving
estimators of incidence, prevalence or complications. Moving
syndromic surveillance to the internet has great relevance (estimating
the scale of health problems, early warning of events).
5. SOCIAL LISTENING
What is Social Listening?
•The process of longitudinal surveying population and monitoring online
conversations at social media platforms to gain insights into public sentiment,
trends, and emerging issues.
•In ONE and public health, social listening involves tracking discussions related
to animal health, diseases, symptoms, and outbreaks.
Why is Social Listening Important in Veterinary Epidemiology?
•Early Detection: Identify potential outbreaks or disease clusters before they
are officially reported.
•Real-time Surveillance: Monitor public sentiment and concerns regarding
health issues.
•Risk Communication: Tailor public health messages based on real-time
insights from social media.
•Outbreak Response: Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and identify
misinformation or rumors.
7. Education:
- disease control and animal welfare
- disseminating the role of vector
diseases, AMR, etc.
- animal movement plans
- promoting wildlife and livestock
veterinary services
Media Monitoring
Setting up monitoring:
-system readiness
- early warning functionality
One Health Coordination Office
Data acquisition:
- local traditional media
- social media
- google etc. search
Analyze, evaluation and
implementing in practice
- detection and management of
post event disease outbreaks
Crisis communication:
- supervision over the correctness
of messages
- reaction to mis/dis- information
- supplementation and correction of
information for animal
displacement and live safeguarding
- coordination over other services
Correction and education:
-recognition of people lay
knowledge and needs
- integrating of vets with online
communities of pet owners
- veterinary advices to animal
breeders in local and social media

8. TOOLS
Using content in with the help of monitors:
• Buzzsumo, EventRegistry, Medisys-JRC, PadiWeb-WOAH/FAO, Frazeo
(language corpus) – traditional media
• Brand24/SentiOne/Sentimenti/Sotrender (Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok,
Telegram, local media), EIOS-WHO, EARS-WHO
• X/Twitter API, EPITweetr-ECDC (death)
• Google trends
• Youtube stats/comments
• Wikipedia stats
some aspects of One Health importance are discussed.
9. INFODEMIOLOGY AS SUPPORTING TOOL
FOR ONE AND PUBLIC HEALTH
► Measuring the social interest in/around SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 in the Internet
media during the epidemic
► Quantifying dynamics of interest (demand and supply of content) and discourse
patterns
► Internet as a digital footprint of social activities (secondary document analysis)
► Media Analysis of the social processes. SEO-marketing solutions as Brand24,
SentiOne, SoTrender (used by Infodemic management by WHO)
► World Organisation for Animal Health and JRC use MedSYS, FAO uses
PadiWeb mining engines
► Influence of foreign intelligence
► Serves as a complement to longitudinal surveys monitoring public perception (and
other socio-economic methods) in REAL TIME

11. SENTIMENT ANALYSIS: UNDERSTANDING
EMOTIONS IN TEXT
What: Uses AI to determine if text expresses positive, negative, or neutral
feelings (or other system of emotions).
Why:
•Understand feedback
•Monitor social perception
•Inform decisions
•Track public opinion
How:
•Train AI model on labeled examples vs LLM
unsupervised approach
•Apply model to text
12. TOPIC MODELING: UNCOVER HIDDEN
THEMES IN TEXT
What: An AI technique that automatically identifies topics
in large text collections.
Why:
•Find hidden themes
•Organize & summarize documents
•Gain insights from large text
datasets
How:
•Apply topic modeling algorithm
•Assign topics to documents
•Interpret results
13. • Zoonotic potential!
