Currently, there is an abundance of data coming from most of the surveillance environments and applications. Identification and filtering of responsive messages from this big data ocean and then processing these informative datasets to gain knowledge are the two real challenges in today’s applications.
Use of Analytics has revolutionized many areas. At LongRiver Infotech, we have used various Machine Learning techniques (Regression, Classification, Text Analytics, Decision Trees, Clustering etc.) in different types of applications. These methodologies are abstracted in a generic platform, which can be put to use in many public health and surveillance applications, which are enumerated here.
Objective
To summarize ways in which Analytics, Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) can improve accuracy and efficiency in bio surveillance and public health practices. We also discuss the use of this framework in typical surveillance applications (Integration with Devices/Sensors, Web/Mobile, Clinical Records, Internet queries, Social/News media).
