RESUMO
The evolution of food safety practices is crucial in addressing the challenges posed by a growing global population and increasingly complex food supply chains. Traditional methods are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error. This chapter explores the transformative potential of integrating microfluidics into smart food safety protocols. Microfluidics, involving the manipulation of small fluid volumes within microscale channels, offers a sophisticated platform for developing miniaturized devices capable of complex tasks. Combined with sensors, actuators, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, smart microfluidic systems enable real-time data acquisition, analysis, and decision-making. These systems enhance control, automation, and adaptability, making them ideal for detecting contaminants, pathogens, and chemical residues in food products. The chapter covers the fundamentals of microfluidics, its integration with smart technologies, and its applications in food safety, addressing the challenges and future directions in this field.

With the innovation of information technology, the national industry has been adjusted and upgraded, and the development of the Internet industry has had a huge impact on economic development. The investment and financing of network enterprises and the merger and acquisition of network companies need to evaluate the value of network companies. In this regard, this paper evaluated the value of Internet platform enterprises under the digital economy based on the Big Data (BD) cooperation asset valuation model. This paper analyzed the factors affecting the value evaluation of Internet enterprises and discussed the advantages of BD cooperative asset valuation model in the value evaluation of Internet enterprises in the digital economy. The BD cooperation asset valuation model was constructed, and the value evaluation experiment of Internet platform enterprises under the digital economy was carried out. The experimental results of this paper showed that in the evaluation of the profitability value of Internet enterprises, the difference between the net sales interest rate was 0.14%-0.51 %. The difference between the net interest rate of equity was 0.09%-0.67 %, and the difference between the net interest rate of total assets was 0.19%-0.92 %; in terms of the evaluation of the operating capacity of Internet enterprises, the difference between the current asset turnover rate was 0.05-0.16. The difference of non-current asset turnover rate was 0.02-0.15, and the difference of total asset turnover rate was 0.01-0.16. The evaluation value based on the BD cooperation asset valuation model was not different from the actual enterprise value, which showed that the BD cooperation asset valuation model had good advantages in the evaluation of the value of Internet enterprises.
RESUMO
Introduction: Numerous complex physiological models derived from intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring data have been developed. More recently, techniques such as machine learning are being used to develop increasingly sophisticated models to aid in clinical decision-making tasks such as diagnosis and prediction. Whilst their potential clinical impact may be significant, few models based on ICP data are routinely available at a patient's bedside. Further, the ability to refine models using ongoing patient data collection is rare. In this paper we identify and discuss the challenges faced when converting insight from ICP data analysis into deployable tools at the patient bedside. Research question: To provide an overview of challenges facing implementation of sophisticated ICP models and analyses at the patient bedside. Material and methods: A narrative review of the barriers facing implementation of sophisticated ICP models and analyses at the patient bedside in a neurocritical care unit combined with a descriptive case study (the CHART-ADAPT project) on the topic. Results: Key barriers found were technical, analytical, and integrity related. Examples included: lack of interoperability of medical devices for data collection and/or model deployment; inadequate infrastructure, hindering analysis of large volumes of high frequency patient data; a lack of clinical confidence in a model; and ethical, trust, security and patient confidentiality considerations governing the secondary use of patient data. Discussion and conclusion: To realise the benefits of ICP data analysis, the results need to be promptly delivered and meaningfully communicated. Multiple barriers to implementation remain and solutions which address real-world challenges are required.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted how people accessed health services and likely how they managed chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Social media forums present a source of qualitative data to understand how adaptation might have occurred from the perspective of the patient. OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to understand how the care-seeking behaviors and attitudes of people living with T2D were impacted during the early part of the pandemic by conducting a scoping literature review. A secondary objective is to compare the findings of the scoping review to those presented on a popular social media platform Reddit. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted in 2021. Inclusion criteria were population with T2D, studies are patient-centered, and study objectives are centered around health behaviors, disease management, or mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exclusion criteria were populations with other noncommunicable diseases, examining COVID-19 as a comorbidity to T2D, clinical treatments for COVID-19 among people living with T2D, genetic expressions of COVID-19 among people living with T2D, gray literature, or studies not published in English. Bias was mitigated by reviewing uncertainties with other authors. Data extracted from the studies were classified into thematic categories. These categories reflect the findings of this study as per our objective. Data from the Reddit forums related to T2D from March 2020 to early March 2021 were downloaded, and support vector machines were used to classify if a post was published in the context of the pandemic. Latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling was performed to gather topics of discussion specific to the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS: A total of 26 studies conducted between February and September 2020, consisting of 13,673 participants, were included in this scoping literature review. The studies were qualitative and relied mostly on qualitative data from surveys or questionnaires. Themes found from the literature review were "poorer glycemic control," "increased consumption of unhealthy foods," "decreased physical activity," "inability to access medical appointments," and "increased stress and anxiety." Findings from latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling of Reddit forums were "Coping With Poor Mental Health," "Accessing Doctor & Medications and Controlling Blood Glucose," "Changing Food Habits During Pandemic," "Impact of Stress on Blood Glucose Levels," "Changing Status of Employment & Insurance," and "Risk of COVID Complications." CONCLUSIONS: Topics of discussion gauged from the Reddit forums provide a holistic perspective of the impact of the pandemic on people living with T2D, which were found to be comparable to the findings of the literature review. The study was limited by only having 1 reviewer for the literature review, but biases were mitigated by consulting authors when there were uncertainties. Qualitative analysis of Reddit forms can supplement traditional qualitative studies of the behaviors of people living with T2D.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, youth had rising mental health needs and changes in service accessibility. Our study investigated changes in use of mental health care services for Canadian youth in Alberta before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also investigated how youth utilization patterns differed for subgroups based on social factors (i.e., age, gender, socioeconomic status, and geography) previously associated with health care access. METHODS: We used cross-sectional population-based data from Alberta, Canada to understand youth (15-24 year) mental health care use from 2018/19 to 2021/22. We performed interrupted time series design, segmented regression modeling on type of mental health care use (i.e., general physician, psychiatrist, emergency room, and hospitalization) and diagnosis-related use. We also investigated the characteristics of youth who utilized mental health care services and stratified diagnosis-related use patterns by youth subgroups. RESULTS: The proportion of youth using mental health care significantly increased from 15.6% in 2018/19 to 18.8% in 2021/22. Mental health care use showed an immediate drop in April 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and public health protections were instituted, followed by a steady rise during the next 2 years. An increase was significant for general physician and psychiatrist visits. Most individual diagnoses included in this study showed significant increasing trends during the pandemic (i.e., anxiety, adjustment, ADHD, schizophrenia, and self-harm), with substance use showing an overall decrease. Mortality rates greatly increased for youth being seen for mental health reasons from 71 per 100,000 youth in 2018/19 to 163 per 100,000 in 2021/22. In addition, there were clear shifts over time in the characteristics of youth using mental health care services. Specifically, there was increased utilization for women/girls compared to men/boys and for youth from wealthier neighborhoods. Increases over time in the utilization of services for self-harm were limited to younger youth (15-16 year). CONCLUSIONS: The study provides evidence of shifts in mental health care use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings can be used to plan for ongoing mental health needs of youth, future pandemic responses, and other public health emergencies.
RESUMO
The progressive evolution of the spatial and temporal resolutions of Earth observation satellites has brought multiple benefits to scientific research. The increasing volume of data with higher frequencies and spatial resolutions offers precise and timely information, making it an invaluable tool for environmental analysis and enhanced decision-making. However, this presents a formidable challenge for large-scale environmental analyses and socioeconomic applications based on spatial time series, often compelling researchers to resort to lower-resolution imagery, which can introduce uncertainty and impact results. In response to this, our key contribution is a novel machine learning approach for dense geospatial time series rooted in superpixel segmentation, which serves as a preliminary step in mitigating the high dimensionality of data in large-scale applications. This approach, while effectively reducing dimensionality, preserves valuable information to the maximum extent, thereby substantially enhancing data accuracy and subsequent environmental analyses. This method was empirically applied within the context of a comprehensive case study encompassing the 2002-2022 period with 8-d-frequency-normalized difference vegetation index data at 250-m resolution in an area spanning 43,470 km2. The efficacy of this methodology was assessed through a comparative analysis, comparing our results with those derived from 1000-m-resolution satellite data and an existing superpixel algorithm for time series data. An evaluation of the time-series deviations revealed that using coarser-resolution pixels introduced an error that exceeded that of the proposed algorithm by 25 % and that the proposed methodology outperformed other algorithms by more than 9 %. Notably, this methodological innovation concurrently facilitates the aggregation of pixels sharing similar land-cover classifications, thus mitigating subpixel heterogeneity within the dataset. Further, the proposed methodology, which is used as a preprocessing step, improves the clustering of pixels according to their time series and can enhance large-scale environmental analyses across a wide range of applications.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Online food delivery services (OFDS) enable individuals to conveniently access foods from any deliverable location. The increased accessibility to foods may have implications on the consumption of healthful or unhealthful foods. Concerningly, previous research suggests that OFDS offer an abundance of energy-dense and nutrient-poor foods, which are heavily promoted through deals or discounts. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we describe the development of the DIGIFOOD dashboard to monitor the digitalization of local food environments in New South Wales, Australia, resulting from the proliferation of OFDS. METHODS: Together with a team of data scientists, we designed a purpose-built dashboard using Microsoft Power BI. The development process involved three main stages: (1) data acquisition of food outlets via web scraping, (2) data cleaning and processing, and (3) visualization of food outlets on the dashboard. We also describe the categorization process of food outlets to characterize the healthfulness of local, online, and hybrid food environments. These categories included takeaway franchises, independent takeaways, independent restaurants and cafes, supermarkets or groceries, bakeries, alcohol retailers, convenience stores, and sandwich or salad shops. RESULTS: To date, the DIGIFOOD dashboard has mapped 36,967 unique local food outlets (locally accessible and scraped from Google Maps) and 16,158 unique online food outlets (accessible online and scraped from Uber Eats) across New South Wales, Australia. In 2023, the market-leading OFDS operated in 1061 unique suburbs or localities in New South Wales. The Sydney-Parramatta region, a major urban area in New South Wales accounting for 28 postcodes, recorded the highest number of online food outlets (n=4221). In contrast, the Far West and Orana region, a rural area in New South Wales with only 2 postcodes, recorded the lowest number of food outlets accessible online (n=7). Urban areas appeared to have the greatest increase in total food outlets accessible via online food delivery. In both local and online food environments, it was evident that independent restaurants and cafes comprised the largest proportion of food outlets at 47.2% (17,437/36,967) and 51.8% (8369/16,158), respectively. However, compared to local food environments, the online food environment has relatively more takeaway franchises (2734/16,158, 16.9% compared to 3273/36,967, 8.9%) and independent takeaway outlets (2416/16,158, 14.9% compared to 4026/36,967, 10.9%). CONCLUSIONS: The DIGIFOOD dashboard leverages the current rich data landscape to display and contrast the availability and healthfulness of food outlets that are locally accessible versus accessible online. The DIGIFOOD dashboard can be a useful monitoring tool for the evolving digital food environment at a regional scale and has the potential to be scaled up at a national level. Future iterations of the dashboard, including data from additional prominent OFDS, can be used by policy makers to identify high-priority areas with limited access to healthful foods both online and locally.

BACKGROUND: Liver cancer represents a most common and fatal cancer worldwide. Xianglian Pill (XLP) is an herbal formula holding great promise in clearing heat for treating diseases in an integrative and holistic way. However, due to the complex constituents and multiple targets, the exact molecular mechanisms of action of XLP are still unclear. PURPOSE: This study is focused on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. The aim of this study is to develop a fast and efficient model to investigate the anti-HCC effects of XLP, and its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: HepG2, Hep3B, Mahlavu, HuH-7, or Li-7 cells were employed in the studies. The ingredients were analyzed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). RNA sequencing combined with network pharmacology was used to elucidate the therapeutic mechanism of XLP in HCC via in silico and in vitro studies. An approach was constructed to improve the accuracy of prediction in network pharmacology by combining big data and omics. RESULTS: First, we identified 13 potential ingredients in the serum of XLP-administered rats using LC-MS. Then the network pharmacology was performed to predict that XLP demonstrates anti-HCC effects via targeting 94 genes involving in 13 components. Modifying the database thresholds might impact the accuracy of network pharmacology analysis based on RNA sequencing data. For instance, when the matching rate peak is 0.43, the correctness rate peak is 0.85. Moreover, 9 components of XLP and 6 relevant genes have been verified with CCK-8 and RT-qPCR assay, respectively. CONCLUSION: Based on the crossing studies of RNA sequencing and network pharmacology, XLP was found to improve HCC through multiple targets and pathways. Additionally, the study provides a way to optimize network pharmacology analysis in herbal medicine research.
RESUMO
Hyperspectral Raman imaging not only offers spectroscopic fingerprints but also reveals morphological information such as spatial distributions in an analytical sample. However, the spectrum-per-pixel nature of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) results in a vast amount of data. Furthermore, HSI often requires pre- and post-processing steps to extract valuable chemical information. To derive pure spectral signatures and concentration abundance maps of the active spectroscopic compounds, both endmember extraction (EX) and Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) techniques are widely employed. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic investigation based on Raman mapping datasets to highlight the similarities and differences between these two approaches in retrieving pure variables, and ultimately provide guidelines for pure variable extraction. Numerical simulations and Raman mapping experiments on a mixture of pharmaceutical powders and on a layered plastic foil sample were conducted to underscore the distinctions between MCR and EX algorithms (in particular Vertex Component Analysis, VCA) and their outputs. Both methods were found to perform well if the dataset contains pure pixels for each of the individual components. However, in cases where such pure pixels do not exist, only MCR was found to be capable of extracting the pure component spectra.
RESUMO
As a strategic resource, big data has become a key force affecting carbon emission reduction in agriculture. However, its impacts remain controversial, and relevant empirical evidence remains to be explored. Based on quasi-natural experimental analysis, this study explored the impact and mechanism of the construction of the National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone (NBDCPZ) on agricultural carbon emissions (ACE) in China and adopted a difference-in-difference (DID) model using China's provincial panel data from 2003 to 2020. The results showed that the ACE in the NBDCPZ establishment area was significantly reduced by 11.91%, a finding that remained robust following the parallel trend test and the placebo test, among others. Mechanism analysis showed that the ACE was reduced through industrial upgrading and technological innovation. Heterogeneity analysis showed that more pronounced policy gains were achieved in China's central-eastern regions as well as in non-major grain-producing areas compared to western and major grain-producing areas. This research provided supporting evidence for the prospect of big data application in ACE and provided useful guidance regarding the promotion of green and sustainable agricultural development.
RESUMO
Digital industrialization represented by big data provides substantial support for the high-quality development of the digital economy, but its impact on urban energy conservation development requires further research. To this end, based on the panel data of Chinese cities from 2010 to 2019 and taking the establishment of the national big data comprehensive pilot zone (NBDCPZ) as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper explores the impact, mechanism, and spatial spillover effect of digital industrialization represented by big data on urban energy conservation development using the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method. The results show that digital industrialization can help achieve urban energy conservation development, which still holds after a series of robustness tests. Mechanism analysis reveals that digital industrialization impacts urban energy conservation development by driving industrial sector output growth, promoting industrial upgrading, stimulating green technology innovation, and alleviating resource misallocation. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the energy conservation effect of digital industrialization is more significant in the central region, intra-regional demonstration comprehensive pilot zones, large cities, non-resource-based cities, and high-level digital infrastructure cities. Additionally, digital industrialization can promote energy conservation development in neighboring areas through spatial spillover effect. This paper enriches the theoretical framework concerning the relationship between digital industrialization and energy conservation development. The findings have significant implications for achieving the coordinated development of digitalization and conservation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Human mobility data have been used as a potential novel data source to guide policies and response planning during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The COVID-19 Mobility Data Network (CMDN) facilitated the use of human mobility data around the world. Both researchers and policy makers assumed that mobility data would provide insights to help policy makers and response planners. However, evidence that human mobility data were operationally useful and provided added value for public health response planners remains largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: This exploratory study focuses on advancing the understanding of the use of human mobility data during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study explored how researchers and practitioners around the world used these data in response planning and policy making, focusing on processing data and human factors enabling or hindering use of the data. METHODS: Our project was based on phenomenology and used an inductive approach to thematic analysis. Transcripts were open-coded to create the codebook that was then applied by 2 team members who blind-coded all transcripts. Consensus coding was used for coding discrepancies. RESULTS: Interviews were conducted with 45 individuals during the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although some teams used mobility data for response planning, few were able to describe their uses in policy making, and there were no standardized ways that teams used mobility data. Mobility data played a larger role in providing situational awareness for government partners, helping to understand where people were moving in relation to the spread of COVID-19 variants and reactions to stay-at-home orders. Interviewees who felt they were more successful using mobility data often cited an individual who was able to answer general questions about mobility data; provide interactive feedback on results; and enable a 2-way communication exchange about data, meaning, value, and potential use. CONCLUSIONS: Human mobility data were used as a novel data source in the COVID-19 pandemic by a network of academic researchers and practitioners using privacy-preserving and anonymized mobility data. This study reflects the processes in analyzing and communicating human mobility data, as well as how these data were used in response planning and how the data were intended for use in policy making. The study reveals several valuable use cases. Ultimately, the role of a data translator was crucial in understanding the complexities of this novel data source. With this role, teams were able to adapt workflows, visualizations, and reports to align with end users and decision makers while communicating this information meaningfully to address the goals of responders and policy makers.

BACKGROUND: The serotonin 4 receptor (5-HT4R) is a promising target for the treatment of depression. Highly selective 5-HT4R agonists, such as prucalopride, have antidepressant-like and procognitive effects in preclinical models, but their clinical effects are not yet established. AIMS: To determine whether prucalopride (a 5-HT4R agonist and licensed treatment for constipation) is associated with reduced incidence of depression in individuals with no past history of mental illness, compared with anti-constipation agents with no effect on the central nervous system. METHOD: Using anonymised routinely collected data from a large-scale USA electronic health records network, we conducted an emulated target trial comparing depression incidence over 1 year in individuals without prior diagnoses of major mental illness, who initiated treatment with prucalopride versus two alternative anti-constipation agents that act by different mechanisms (linaclotide and lubiprostone). Cohorts were matched for 121 covariates capturing sociodemographic factors, and historical and/or concurrent comorbidities and medications. The primary outcome was a first diagnosis of major depressive disorder (ICD-10 code F32) within 1 year of the index date. Robustness of the results to changes in model and population specification was tested. Secondary outcomes included a first diagnosis of six other neuropsychiatric disorders. RESULTS: Treatment with prucalopride was associated with significantly lower incidence of depression in the following year compared with linaclotide (hazard ratio 0.87, 95% CI 0.76-0.99; P = 0.038; n = 8572 in each matched cohort) and lubiprostone (hazard ratio 0.79, 95% CI 0.69-0.91; P < 0.001; n = 8281). Significantly lower risks of all mood disorders and psychosis were also observed. Results were similar across robustness analyses. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support preclinical data and suggest a role for 5-HT4R agonists as novel agents in the prevention of major depression. These findings should stimulate randomised controlled trials to confirm if these agents can serve as a novel class of antidepressant within a clinical setting.
RESUMO
Harnessing cutting-edge technologies to enhance crop productivity is a pivotal goal in modern plant breeding. Artificial intelligence (AI) is renowned for its prowess in big data analysis and pattern recognition, and is revolutionizing numerous scientific domains including plant breeding. We explore the wider potential of AI tools in various facets of breeding, including data collection, unlocking genetic diversity within genebanks, and bridging the genotype-phenotype gap to facilitate crop breeding. This will enable the development of crop cultivars tailored to the projected future environments. Moreover, AI tools also hold promise for refining crop traits by improving the precision of gene-editing systems and predicting the potential effects of gene variants on plant phenotypes. Leveraging AI-enabled precision breeding can augment the efficiency of breeding programs and holds promise for optimizing cropping systems at the grassroots level. This entails identifying optimal inter-cropping and crop-rotation models to enhance agricultural sustainability and productivity in the field.
RESUMO
Background: Precision Public Health (PPH) is a newly emerging field in public health medicine. The application of various types of data allows PPH to deliver more tailored interventions to a specific population within a specific timeframe. However, the application of PPH possesses several challenges and limitations that need to be addressed. Objective: We aim to provide evidence of the various use of PPH in outbreak management, the types of data that could be used in PPH application, and the limitations and barriers in the application of the PPH approach. Methods and analysis: Articles were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Our selection of articles was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for Scoping Review guidelines. The outcome of the evidence assessment was presented in narrative format instead of quantitative. Results: A total of 27 articles were included in the scoping review. Most of the articles (74.1%) focused on PPH applications in performing disease surveillance and signal detection. Furthermore, the data type mostly used in the studies was surveillance (51.9%), environment (44.4), and Internet query data. Most of the articles emphasized data quality and availability (81.5%) as the main barriers in PPH applications followed by data integration and interoperability (29.6%). Conclusions: PPH applications in outbreak management utilize a wide range of data sources and analytical techniques to enhance disease surveillance, investigation, modeling, and prediction. By leveraging these tools and approaches, PPH contributes to more effective and efficient outbreak management, ultimately reducing the burden of infectious diseases on populations. The limitation and challenges in the application of PPH approaches in outbreak management emphasize the need to strengthen the surveillance systems, promote data sharing and collaboration among relevant stakeholders, and standardize data collection methods while upholding privacy and ethical principles.
RESUMO
Aim: Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the second most prevalent cancer in Pakistan. Methods: Gene expression data from TCGA and GETx for normal genes to analyze Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). Data was further investigated using the Enrichr tool to perform Gene Ontology (GO). Results: Our analysis identified most significantly differentially expressed genes and explored their established cellular functions as well as their potential involvement in tumor development. We found that the highly expressed Keratin family and S100A9 genes. The under-expressed genes KRT4 and KRT13 provide instructions for the production of keratin proteins. Conclusion: Our study suggests that factors such as poor oral hygiene and smokeless tobacco can result in oral stress and cellular damage and cause cancer.
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) holds vast cancer data processed with powerful computers and cloud tech. This sparks new bioinformatics for better cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In Southeast Asia, Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is prevalent. We used TCGA and GETx data to study gene expression. High-expression Keratin and S100A9 genes fight cellular damage under stress, while under-expressed KRT4 and KRT13 genes shape cell structure. Poor oral care and smokeless tobacco could induce cell damage, sparking cancer mutations. Unveiling HNSCC mechanisms may guide targeted treatments and preventive strategies.
RESUMO
The analysis of large volumes of data collected from heterogeneous sources is increasingly important for the development of megacities, the advancement of smart city technologies, and ensuring a high quality of life for citizens. This study aimed to develop algorithms for analyzing and interpreting social media data to assess citizens' opinions in real time and for verifying and examining data to analyze social tension and predict the development of situations during the implementation of urban projects. The developed algorithms were tested using an urban project in the field of transportation system development. The study's material included data from social networks, messenger channels and chats, video hosting platforms, blogs, microblogs, forums, and review sites. An interdisciplinary approach was utilized to analyze the data, employing tools such as Brand Analytics, TextAnalyst 2.32, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Tableau. The results of the data analysis showed identical outcomes, indicating a neutral perception among users and the absence of social tension surrounding the project's implementation, allowing for the prediction of a calm development of the situation. Additionally, recommendations were developed to avert potential conflicts and eliminate sources of social tension for decision-making purposes.
RESUMO
Digital epidemiology is the process of investigating the dynamics of disease-related patterns, both social and clinical, as well as the causes of these trends in epidemiology. Digital epidemiology, utilising big data from a variety of digital sources, has emerged as a viable method for early detection and monitoring of viral outbreaks. The present review gives an overview of digital epidemiology, emphasising its importance in the timely detection of infectious disease outbreaks. Researchers may discover and track outbreaks in real time using digital data sources such as search engine queries, social media trends, and digital health records. However, data quality, concerns about privacy, and data interoperability must be addressed to maximise the effectiveness of digital epidemiology. As the global landscape of infectious diseases evolves, integrating digital epidemiology becomes critical to improving pandemic preparedness and response efforts. Integrating digital epidemiology into routine monitoring systems has the potential to improve global health outcomes and save lives in the event of viral outbreaks.
