Enhancing Epidemic Detection Using Syndromic Surveillance and Early Notification Methods

Early Notification Detection Systems have taken a critical role in providing early notice of disease outbreaks. To improve the detection methods for disease outbreaks, many detection methods have been created and implemented. However, there is limited information on the effectively of syndromic surveillance in Thailand. Knowing the performance, strengths and weakness of these surveillance systems in providing early warning for outbreaks will increase disease outbreak detection capacity in Thailand.

Objective:

This paper presents an investigation using early notification methods to enhancing epidemic detection in syndromic surveillance data from royal Thai army in Thailand.
