Comparison of Aberration Detection Algorithms for Syndromic Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
This paper describes a study of various aberration detection algorithms currently used in syndromic surveillance and one based on artificial neural networks developed at Guelph. The goal of the research is not to select one ìwinningî algorithm but… read more… so that a systems designer can successfully use all of these algorithms in an outbreak detection system. … so that a systems designer can successfully use all of these algorithms in an outbreak detection system. … in the Kingston, Ontario, Canada area [4].

Project Management and Design for Syndromic Surveillance Software
Content Type: Abstract
Management of software development projects involves a collection of well understood issues which are not often found in other project management areas. Identifying and managing these issues primarily requires that the manager is aware of the… read more… to medium sized software development projects.

Comparing Syndromic Surveillances using Two Aspects: Emergency and Telehealth Data Sources
Content Type: Abstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the utility of Emergency Department and Telehealth data for Syndromic Surveillance. This works attempts to minimize false outbreak detection. It also demonstrates that these two data sources contain… read more… sensitive than the ED data for detecting outbreaks. This due to characteristics of the TH data. It is less variable …
