The HealthMap Project: Internet-Based Emerging Infectious Disease Intelligence

The HealthMap Project is a Web-based tool developed by researchers at the Boston Children's Hospital Informatics Program, aimed at increasing public awareness of disease surveillance. The tool integrates outbreak data from news sources, curated personal accounts and validated official alerts. Through an automated text processing system, the data is aggregated by disease and displayed by location for user-friendly access to the original alert. An article about the project is available in PLoS Medicine.
