Integrating Global Infectious Disease Monitoring and Risk Assessment in Real-Time

Bio.Diaspora is a scientific project dedicated to understanding the health implications of surging global population mobility. Bio.Diaspora recently developed an easy-to-use, web-based, enterprise GIS application, that in real-time, can generate and deliver customized, actionable intelligence about how the world's population is moving through the global airline transportation network. This application has been integrated with a live stream of global epidemic intelligence coming from HealthMap, which offers users early insights into where dangerous infectious disease threats are emerging and how they are most likely to spread around the world. Bio.Diaspora was founded by Dr. Kamran Khan, an infectious disease clinician and scientist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, and an Associate Professor of Medicine with the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Toronto. Dr. John Brownstein is a co-founder of HealthMap and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, with joint appointments in the Children's Hospital Boston Informatics Program and Division of Emergency Medicine.
