<p>The present invention relates to a computer-based system and method for aiding in the collection of synchromic data for making area-specific and regional comparisons for trend analysis of the syndromic data to target early warning outbreak recognition of infectious diseases. The system has 'real-time' capability which provides for periodic transfer of the syndromic data, for example, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, form one or more local sites to a host site. The day-to-day analysis of the syndromic data is used to assist in dectecting a suspected infectious disease outbreak. A more detailed analysis is used to confirm the suspected infectious disease outbreak.</p> |
