Ebola Data Digital Platform Aims To Inform Health Care Providers, Prevent Outbreaks

Nature: Massive Ebola data site planned to combat outbreaks
“More than 11,000 people died when Ebola tore through West Africa between 2014 and 2016, and yet clinicians still lack data that would enable them to reliably identify the disease when a person first walks into a clinic. To fill that gap and others before the next outbreak hits, researchers are developing a platform to organize and share Ebola data that have so far been scattered beyond reach…” (Maxmen, 9/4).
