Drats, I was reading something within the last couple days about SARS, TheFlu, and other diseases, and the need for Real Time tracking to recognize and react to Out Break-s. Can't find it now. That would be a pretty cool national/global Public Health project to work on, wouldn't it?
Update: I suspect it was this Bruce Sterling piece. The pioneers in this method are outfits like the [WHO]/[World Health Organization]'s [Global Outbreak Alert And Response Network]. Born in 2000, [GOARN] is a very young network connecting national ministries of health, scientific institutes, and nongovernmental organizations such as the Red Cross, [Doctors Without Borders], and [Medical Emergency Relief International]. Understanding the dire need for speed, epidemic medicine is reshaping itself around its networks and databases, such as [Global Public Health Intelligence Network], [FluNet], [PacNet], and [Pulse Net].
