It focuses on digital disease surveillance through the application of machine learning to non-traditional data sources. Developing countries are uniquely prone to large-scale emerging infectious disease outbreaks due to disruption of ecosystems, civil unrest, and poor healthcare infrastructure – and without comprehensive surveillance, delays in outbreak identification, resource deployment, and case management can be catastrophic. In combination with context-informed analytics, students will learn how non-traditional digital disease data sources – including news media, social media, Google Trends, and Google Street View – can fill critical knowledge gaps and help inform on-the-ground decision-making when formal surveillance systems are insufficient. 2020-08-13T11:53:59Z 2020-08-13T11:53:59Z 2020 book ONIX_20200813_9783030479947_32 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/41290 eng application/pdf n/a 2020_Book_LeveragingDataScienceForGlobal.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030479947 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-47994-7 10.1007/978-3-030-47994-7 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 Springer 475 open access
