"Public health surveillance is the ongoing collection and analysis of data to identify and respond to community health problems in a timely manner. Frequently, important public health information is distributed among many disparate databases, and includes far more than just clinical data. Infectious, gastrointestinal or respiratory illnesses may be detected by monitoring emergency room visits, water contaminations and air quality. Also, some helpful correlative data may exist online (e.g. pollens and allergens). As of now, meaningful integration of all these disparate data to inform public health practice has been the major barrier to their use in public health surveillance systems."

This two-volume set presents a course outline, in modular format, that deals step-by-step with the development of a Health Systems Research (HSR) proposal and field testing (Part 1) and with data analysis and report writing (Part 2).

Design and Development of a Mobile Medical Application for the Management of Chronic Diseases: Methods of Improved Data Input for Older People

Designing and Conducting Health Systems Research Projects - Health Systems Research (HSR) has proved to be a useful tool for health decision makers at all levels over the past 20 years, providing them with the necessary data for informed decision making.

This page demonstrates various device detection techniques, and provides a sample of the data returned from them. Note: The list of properties returned is not a complete list of what is available. Please see each respective technology for full information.

"...public health and relief workers ought to have access to the best possible information whenever they need it, including satellite imagery, sensor data, media reports and all the rich resources of the World Wide Web."

This is for Hoeggi!

"One of the last and liveliest sessions at TEPR+ last week was a presentation and Q&A with Don Witters from the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Witters repeated multiple times that he attended the show in order to begin a dialog with the mHealth industry to establish clear pathways and regulations that ensure wireless quality of service, coexistence with other medical systems, data integrity, security and electromagnetic compatibility. Witters said his goal was safe, secure and reliable deployments of wireless technology in healthcare."
