In disease surveillance, digital health interventions (DHIs) have been widely implemented.
“In disease surveillance, digital health interventions (DHIs) have been widely implemented.”
From Digital Health Interventions in Dengue Surveillance to Detect and Predict Outbreak: A Scoping Review (2024) · cites this paper as [11]
The main text (page unavailable) describes several web-based disease-surveillance systems and examples of their use in detecting outbreaks. It does not establish that digital health interventions have been widely implemented; it instead calls for countries to be encouraged to use digital surveillance. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredDigital surveillance can improve early detection and response to worldwide public health emergencies and should be viewed as an essential complement to existing official surveillance mechanisms.
“As shown by the detection of polio and Ebola epidemics, digital surveillance can improve early detection and response to worldwide public health emergencies and should be viewed as an essential complement to existing official surveillance mechanisms [11].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
