Utilizing Social Media and Open Data for Public Health Situational Awareness Forum

Come join representatives from the private industry, government agencies, academic institutions, and non-profit organizations in the first of a series of innovative discussion forums sponsored by the HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response’s Fusion Cell.

The forums will help identify pioneering ways to move from open source information into actual public health response – so everyone is better informed, better prepared, and better able to respond fast to protect health and save lives.

Ultimately, the question is: how do we efficiently and effectively manage large volumes of internal and external disparate data sources necessary for situational awareness, rapid decision support, and discover new indicators and warnings of events of public health significance?
