1. Disease surveillance systems
Sammanfattning : Recent advances in information and communication technologies have made the development and operation of complex disease surveillance systems technically feasible, and many systems have been proposed to interpret diverse data sources for health-related signals. Implementing these systems for daily use and efficiently interpreting their output, however, remains a technical challenge. LÄS MER
2. Datafication in Public Health Surveillance : Making Authoritative Accounts
Sammanfattning : The data traces we increasingly leave behind through interactions with information technology are being integrated into public health practice for continuous real-time monitoring and decision-making in a process of datafication. While previous research suggests there are challenges in producing and moving representations, datafication relies on reusing data primarily intended for a different purpose. LÄS MER
3. Bayesian inference for detection problems in biology
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about different kinds of detection problems in biology: detection of DNA sequences in crime scene samples, detection of harmful bacteria in feed and food stuff and detection of epidemical diseases in animal populations. In each case, biological data is produced or collected in order to determine which DNA sequences, bacteria types or diseases are present, if any. LÄS MER
4. Use of data mining and artificial intelligence to derive public health evidence from large datasets
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the use of data mining and AI-tailored frameworks for extracting public health evidence from large health datasets. The research presented in this thesis demonstrates the potential of these tools for automating and simplifying the data mining process, and for providing valuable insights into various public health issues.

5. Epidemiological and statistical basis for detection and prediction of influenza epidemics
Sammanfattning : A large number of emerging infectious diseases (including influenza epidemics) has been identified during the last century. The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases have a negative impact on global health. Influenza epidemics alone cause between 3 and 5 million cases of severe illness annually, and between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths. LÄS MER
