• Implementation of Cluster Detection Mechanism of Syndromic Surveillance System in EDMON 

      Yeng, Prosper Kandabongee (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-09-17)
      Background: Early detection of disease outbreak has become a global challenge because existing disease surveillance systems, ostensibly, appears not to be efficient enough. As a result, there still exists disease outbreaks such as Ebola, heatwaves, malaria and flu with high case fatality rates in some parts of the world. New disease surveillance methods are therefore being explored to enhance the ...

      Time lag in detecting disease outbreaks remains a threat to global health security. Currently, our research team is working towards a system called EDMON, which uses blood glucose level and other supporting parameters from people with type 1 diabetes, as indicator variables for outbreak detection. Therefore, this paper aims to pinpoint the state of the art cluster detection mechanism towards developing ...
