Search Data predicts Epidemic!

Social Media Networks utilities now cover up medical side too. Google, FaceBook, Twitter, Chatrooms, and Blogs are emerging now as powerful tools to collect data globally to predict disease outbreaks. This new aspect of Infectious Disease Surveillance now plays important role in planning for adoption of precautions to prevent epidemics and check the progression of any disease. Webserches and Microblogging record health events in all locations of the world in their websites. For example, someone with symptoms of a disease may use Search engines like Google for finding out the disease he/she is having with the help of Internet (self diagnosis). Such search data are collected geographically from search engines and used to predict epidemics! Read more about this here by clicking on:
