How AI Can Make Infectious Disease Surveillance Smarter, Faster, and More Useful

VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, AUG 08 – Artificial intelligence helps public health agencies detect infectious disease threats earlier and improve decision-making despite funding cuts, experts say AI can enhance data accuracy and speed.

  • Amid budget cuts, health departments could leverage AI systems to maintain and improve infectious disease surveillance despite relying on error-prone platforms.
  • Under current systems, surveillance relies on manual steps and many reports still arrive via fax or phone, requiring personnel to review, clean, and code data, delaying detection.
  • Using natural language processing systems, AI can scan lab reports to extract pathogen details, test info, and patient identifiers, streamlining surveillance data processing.
  • By leveraging advanced AI, health agencies can improve analysis, visualization, and detection of surveillance data for faster public health responses.
  • Partnerships between public health experts, AI developers, and policymakers will be key to integrating validated, adaptable AI tools for faster disease surveillance.
