METHOD OF ANTICIPATING AN EPIDEMIC IN A POPULATION, AND A SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A monitoring system is described comprising client computers 103 distributed in different location and a host computer 101. The system is capable of recording clinical symptoms of patients recorded via the client computers 103, and compiling the clinical symptoms to note any sudden increase of clinical symptom or specific combination of clinical symptoms. Thus, a trend may be observed before diagnosis and statistics can confirm infection outbreak allowing doctors to anticipate an infection outbreak, or epidemic.
