Searching for early warning systems during the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers explored how digital data sources such as geo-social media (e.g. posts on platforms like X, formerly Twitter, that include location data) could improve the disease’s transmission dynamics. This data offers a valuable tool for local event detection.| GIScience Blog
With the increasing availability of global disease datasets, Visual Analytics (VA) has emerged as a valuable tool in spatial epidemiology, particularly for studying serotype interactions in diseases like dengue. Dengue, caused by four serotypes (DENV1-DENV4), poses a significant global health threat exacerbated by urbanization and climate change. Traditional approaches rely on static mapping or animation of serotype incidence, but there remains a gap in utilizing VA tools for dynamic and inte...| HeiGIT
