One Health Surveillance with Electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance System

Abstract

ObjectiveThe objective of this demonstration is to show conference attendees how one-health surveillance in medical, veterinary and environmental sectors can be improved with Electronic Integrated Disease Surveillance System (EIDSS) using CCHF as an example from Kazakhstan. IntroductionEIDSS supports collection and analysis of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory information on infectious diseases in medical, veterinary and environmental sectors. At this moment the system is deployed in Kazakhstan at 150 sites (planned 271) in the veterinary surveillance and at 8 sites (planned 23) in human surveillance. The system enforces the one-health concept and provides capacity to improve surveillance and response to infectious disease including especially dangerous like CCHF.EIDSS has been in development since 2005 and is a free-of-charge tool with plans for open-source development. The system development is based on expertise of a number of US and international experts including CDC, WRAIR, USAMRIID, et al.

Mobile based Notifiable Disease Surveillance Case for Kenya

“…It has been shown how Smartphone applications have the potential to generate real-time disease surveillance data that may augment current methods [12]. They developed novel and free Smartphone application, ClickClinica, to try to increase the identification of major infectious diseases and other acute medical presentations and improve our understanding of clinical practice.…”
