Internet data sources for disease surveillance: Assessment of suitability

This assessment evaluates 34 internet activity data sources for use in disease surveillance. Our goals are to (a) understand the available data on internet usage and activity well enough to (b) identify real-world internet data sources that can be used both for evaluating our theories of disease surveillance and building operational internet data-based disease surveillance systems. The assessment (pdf) and raw data (excel spreadsheet) are attached.

本评估针对34项应用于疾病监测领域的互联网活动数据源展开评测。本次评估的核心目标有二：其一，充分厘清现有互联网使用与活动相关数据的全貌；其二，筛选出可同时用于验证疾病监测理论模型，以及搭建基于互联网数据的可落地疾病监测系统的真实世界互联网数据源。本评估报告（PDF格式）与原始数据集（Excel表格格式）已随本内容一并附上。
