Agentic AI framework enhances public health data collection

Researchers have developed a multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) framework designed to improve public health data collection by dynamically integrating information from diverse and evolving sources. This system automates source discovery, assessment, evidence structuring, event linking, and validation. Initial applications demonstrated its potential by accurately recovering cases in a hantavirus outbreak, closely matching national measles counts, and significantly increasing the reporting frequency of mpox cases in Sierra Leone. AI

IMPACT This agentic AI framework could streamline and improve the accuracy of public health surveillance systems globally.

    Toward an Agentic AI Approach to Public Health Data Collection

    Disease surveillance increasingly integrates automated data collection, yet predefined sources and procedures require manual adaptation as reporting practices change. We explore agentic artificial intelligence (AI) as an approach to coordinating surveillance data collection acros…
