Cell Host Microbe. 2015 Mar 11;17(3):275-278. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2015.02.004.

Abstract

Several digital data sources and systems have been advanced for use in augmenting traditional influenza surveillance systems. Although timeliness is one of the main advantages of these tools, there are several other recognizable uses and potential impact of these systems on the public and global public health.
