SAPPHIRE: an integrated biosurveillance system; integrates data
from multiple disparate sources
-
Data can be viewed from many different perspectives (disease
surveillance, environmental protection, biosecurity and
bioterrorism, veterinary surveillance, etc.)
-
New information absorbed easily (eg, it had a successful use
during the Katrina disaster)
-
Advantages include dynamic adaptability, usage of disparate and
heterogeneous data
