APPROACH:
Temporal analytics tool for supporting a temporal, retrospective
analysis of infectious disease outbreaks mentioned in Twitter. Our
tool will help medical professionals to analyze disease outbreaks
with real-time, social media data. In addition, we provide a means of
comparing the temporal development of an outbreak event
mentioned in social media against official outbreak reports.
The functionalities of our temporal analytics tool include:
1) Automatically extract outbreak events from official health
reports from World Health Organization and ProMED-mail
2) Generate time series data of Twitter for corresponding real-
world outbreak events
3) Visualize/correlate the time series of Twitter vs. official sources
in different temporal granularities (daily, weekly, monthly) and
location granularities (country, continent, latitude, worldwide)
CHALLENGES:
• Automatically detecting public health-related events is crucially
important for early warning, which helps health authorities to
prevent and/or mitigate public health threats.
• Twitter messages (or tweets) can be used to infer the existence
and magnitude of real-world health-related events, for example:
(a) I have the mumps...am I alone?; or (2) #Cholera breaks out in
#Dadaab refugee camp in #Kenya http://t.co/....
• None of these previous work focused on an temporal analysis
of Twitter data for general diseases that are not only seasonal,
but also sporadic diseases that occur in low tweet-density areas
like Kenya or Bangladesh, as we perform in this work.
