Really great to see that our paper is now officially published in the latest #Eurosurveillance. As it was accepted with only minor edits, this earlier post still captures the key messages: tiny.cc/036u001.
Our new issue is out, and includes research on
🦠 surveillance of iGAS in European countries and factors associated with severe iGAS and death in children & adolescents
📈 how COVID-19 modelling supported public health decisions in Europe

I am open to the idea that there are people who don't have and don't want to gain the skills to engage directly with their data but every single day that I do I learn the answer to a question you'd never even think to ask unless you were personally staring into the abyss of an uncleaned dataset.

Rather than resistricting risk monitoring to reactive outbreak response, we highlight effective applications that enhance early detection and prevention of outbreaks. This aligns with #CollaborativeSurveillance @who.int and its advocacy for integrated/ cross-sectoral approaches to ID surveillance.
NEW PAPER: When and how to embed risk data in infectious disease surveillance?
Problem: Traditional infectious disease surveillance consisting of facility-based reporting of cases, often delays outbreak response due to disease progression, healthcare seeking, diagnostic and reporting lags. 1/5

Nice overview of challenges & tool-based solutions, plus important non-tool-based facilitators for sustainable #OutbreakAnalytics: locally-led analytical teams, cross-disciplinary partnerships, standardised data collection, co-creation with data collectors & end-users #EpiSky t.ly/gAZKI
From the 100 Day Mission to 100 lines of software development: how to improve early outbreak analytics
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, considerable advances have been made to improve epidemic preparedness by accelerating diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine development. However, we argue that it is crucial to make equivalent efforts in the field of outbreak analytics to help ensure reliable, evidence-based decision making. To explore the challenges and key priorities in the field of outbreak analytics, the Epiverse-TRACE initiative brought together a multidisciplinary group of experts, including field epidemiologists, data scientists, academics, and software engineers from public health institutions across multiple countries.
