Integrated spatiotemporal surveillance system: Data, Analysis and Visualization

Description

Most surveillance methods in the literature focus on temporal aberration detections with data aggregated to certain geographical boundaries. SaTScan has been widely used for spatiotemporal aberration detection due to its user friendly software interface. However, the software is limited to spatial scan statistics and suffers from location imprecision and heterogeneity of population. R Surveillance has a collection of spatiotemporal methods that focus more on research instead of surveillance.

 Objective

To build an open source spatiotemporal system that integrates analysis and visualization for disease surveillance.
