Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Information Systems
  • Biosecurity

Background:

  • Biowarfare agent detection and response are critical public health concerns.
  • Existing systems may lack deployability and secure remote access capabilities.
  • The need for integrated, real-time case reporting is paramount.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a proof-of-concept web-based information system for biowarfare agent case reporting.
  • To enable secure data collection and forwarding by public health field workers.
  • To demonstrate the integration of portable and web technologies in public health.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a web-based information system accessible via personal digital assistants.
  • Secure data transmission over public wireless networks.
