About HealthMap

HealthMap brings together disparate data sources to achieve a unified

and comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious

diseases and their effect on human and animal health. This freely

available Web site integrates outbreak data of varying reliability,

ranging from news sources (such as Google News) to curated personal

accounts (such as ProMED) to validated official alerts (such as World

Health Organization). Through an automated text processing system, the

data is aggregated by disease and displayed by location for

user-friendly access to the original alert. HealthMap provides a

jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious

diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and

international travelers.
