40K participants
More than 150K symptoms
reports every year
‣ 2003: 2 countries
‣ 2015: 10 countries
Online Influenza Surveillance
Influenzanet providing weekly information on Influenza related topics, the
real-time information on the evolution of the disease at the local level, and
some statistics on the available data.
Influenzanet.eu
Real-time Data Analytics
Fluoutlook: activity data and forecasts are updated weekly, based on the
reports of the official influenza surveillance systems in each country. The
data sources also include Influenzanet and Twitter.

Computational Epi. Models
GLEAM produces realistic simulations of the global spread of infectious
diseases. It integrates three layers: real-world data on the global
population; real-world data on the mobility of this population; an individual
based stochastic mathematical model of the infection dynamics.

Health Media Monitoring
3XL News provides instantaneous global news monitoring and analysis
across several languages on-the-go, showing how semantic technologies
are used in a real-world scenario.

Social Media Nowcasting
The portal twitterobservatory.net to extract information from Social Media
(Twitter). In this case the query was influenza.

Cross-lingual Technology
While XLing is a Wikipedia based cross-lingual similarity computation
across 100 languages, NewsFeed is a real-time aggregated stream of
semantically enriched news articles, and EventRegistry is a system for real-
time collection and analysis of news published globally.

Topological Data Analysis applies the qualitative methods of topology to
problems of machine learning, data mining and computer vision.
Persistent homology identifies a global structure by inferring high-
dimensional structure from low-dimensional representations and studying
properties of a (often) continuous space by the analysis of a discrete
sample of it, assembling discrete points into global structure. It has
important applications in Medicine including Cancer research.
