Mining big data for early detection of infectious disease threats driven by climate change and other factors

Description of call
"Mining big data for early detection of infectious disease threats driven by climate change and other factors"

A range of factors (such as climate change, population growth etc.) is responsible for the (re-)emergence of infectious disease threats, including antimicrobial resistance, altering the epidemiology and spread of disease in a changing global environment. The use of next generation sequencing combined with surveillance data, health registries and societal data from informal/non-traditional sources (e.g. social media) holds promise for improving individual and population health. Current advanced IT technologies offer the opportunity to integrate such big data sets and could enable the rapid and personalised treatment of infected patients, and bolster the detection, tracking and control of infectious disease outbreaks. Proposals are expected to focus on technology, bio-informatics and analytical tools for early warning.
