Funded by the Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, we developed the BioSINE toolset to provide visualization and collaboration capabilities to improve the accessibility and utility of health surveillance data. Investigation of public health (PH) practitioners’ needs with cognitive engineering methods revealed two key objectives:
1. To provide analysts and decision makers with an intuitive, visually driven workspace.
2. To support a web presence to provide rapid updating and facilitate greater interaction with data analysis in the PH community.
