Infection Watch Live is an intuitive map-based disease surveillance and alert application. Built on real-time information feeds, it is an actionable birds-eye view of the spread of contagious respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions. Infection Watch Live focuses on high impact health concerns, giving maximum leverage to public health information, for public safety.
Early detection and action based on visit data and syndromic surveillance is the highest ranked strategy for stopping an outbreak. Infection Watch Live is able to integrate Emergency Department visit data; clinic data; lab testing; over-the-counter sales; Telehealth reports; and work-school absenteeism. We connect multiple surveillance solutions in a single, information-rich interface. Turning data into knowledge.
Why Infection Watch Live?
Infection Watch Live has a key advantage over other outbreak monitoring solutions -- the spatial visualization of this data empowers the public. Infection control practitioners, family physicians, community access centres, long term care facilities, home care professionals, schools, employers, police and fire officials, municipal officials, community care access centres and child care centres all have access to current information on infectious activity within their community, and the steps they can take to help stop it.
Both the public and healthcare professionals gave Infection Watch Live an exemplary score when measured for “usefulness”. They confirmed that it helps guide their care of families; enables infection prevention; and strengthens their connection to their local health unit. The same way as the parent of an asthmatic child can check the air quality index for smog alerts, Infection Watch Live gives users the ability to check a community infection index, and the real-time infectious disease levels in their community.
The end result is an informed and empowered community that is engaged in local infection control. Infection Watch Live is part of Infonaut’s suite of prevention and containment tools. These tools:
- Limit the spread of disease
- Reduce the impact on hospital emergency departments
- Save lives among at risk populations (children and elderly)
- Help the public better understand an outbreak situation
