Details

This system continuously monitors global news and media sources to detect early signs of public health threats, including chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear events. It uses automated translation, relevance scoring, clustering, and anomaly detection to surface organized, timely intelligence for public health decision-makers. The system operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and does not collect personal information. Users are not informed that AI is used in the analysis.
