New Method for Identification and Response to Infectious Disease Patterns Based on Comprehensive Health Service Data
Abstract
Infectious diseases continue to pose a major threat to global public health and require early detection and effective response strategies. Despite advances in information technology and data analysis, the full potential of health data in identifying disease patterns and trends remains underutilised. This study aims to propose a comprehensive new mathematical model (new method) that utilises health data to identify infectious disease patterns and trends by exploring the potential of data-driven care approaches in addressing public health challenges associated with infectious diseases. The research methods used are exploratory data collection and analytical model development. The research results obtained mathematical models and algorithms that consider data of period, time, patterns, and trends of dangerous diseases, statistical analysis, and recommendations. Data visualisation and in-depth analysis were conducted in the research to improve the ability to respond to infectious disease threats and provide better decision-making solutions in improving outbreak response, as well as improving preparedness in addressing public health challenges. This research contributes to health practitioners and decision-makers.
