EPI-WIN digest 27 - Launch of MERS-tracker: an interactive dashboard to support evidence based decision making

Overview

WHO’s Emerging Diseases and Zoonoses unit has been collaborating with the University of Calgary Serotracker team and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to build a MERS-tracker tool consisting of a data tracker platform and dashboard showcasing results from published human and animal viral and sero-prevalence field studies. The data can be combined or segregated according to the users needs, displayed in many formats and downloaded for further analysis outside the tool.

The dashboard was launched through an EPI-WIN webinar and its development explained as well as how the dashboard can be manipulated to display data according to the user’s preference.
