Modeling Clinician Detection Time of a Disease Outbreak Due to Inhalational Anthrax
Content Type: Abstract
We developed a probabilistic model of how clinicians are expected to detect a disease outbreak due to an outdoor release of anthrax spores, when the clinicians only have access to traditional clinical information (e.g., no computer-based alerts). We… read more… how clinicians are expected to detect a disease outbreak due to an outdoor release of anthrax spores, when the … Modeling_Clinician_Detection_Time_Of_A_Disease_Outbreak_Due_To_Inhalational_Anthrax.pdf 2 views Submitted by elamb … Modeling Clinician Detection Time of a Disease Outbreak Due to Inhalational Anthrax Christina Adamou, Gregory F. … -
Effect of Work-related Mobility in the Simulation of Aerosol Anthrax Releases with BARD
Content Type: Abstract
An important problem in biosurveillance is the early detection and characterization of outdoor aerosol releases of B. anthracis. The Bayesian Aerosol Release Detector (BARD) is a system for simulating, detecting and characterizing such releases… read more… might be exposed at a location other than their residence due to mobility.

Identifying Categories of Over-the-Counter Products with Superior Outbreak Detection Performance
Content Type: Abstract
A significant research topic in biosurveillance is how to group individual events—such as single emergency department (ED) visits and sales of over-thecounter healthcare (OTC) products—into counts of “similar” events. For OTC products, the goal is… read more… Data Monitor category that had a high retention rate (i.e., appears in child category 75% or more of time). … of 0.117 (95% CI: 0.113-0.120). The mean timeliness of de- tection of child categories was lower than that of their …
