Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Early detection of a newly emerging or reemerging infectious disease is crucial to minimize the impact of such a threat on lives and livelihoods. With three of four pathogens capable of causing epidemics or pandemics arising first in animals and spreading to humans as zoonosis, a One Health approach to early detection is paramount. One Health participatory surveillance, defined as the bidirectional receiving and transmitting of data for action through direct engagement of the target population, is an effective form of collaborative surveillance to enhance global health security. Participatory surveillance systems can vary greatly when developed for a specific purpose or to meet a particular community's needs. Different geographies, languages, customs, beliefs, and practices often influence the breadth and depth of the data collected within each system. Imagine, however, if each of these varied systems could "speak" to each other, sharing their aggregated, deidentified data to create a comprehensive, real-time view of planetary health. The key is to collect the same information from users in each system, or at least a minimum set of key data parameters, to generate One Health surveillance greater than that of any individual system. To enable this vision, we propose a minimum set of key data parameters for One Health participatory surveillance that could be collected in any system through self-reporting by the public. This real-time collaborative surveillance could be the earliest indicator of a human, animal, or environmental health threat as it does not require interaction with a health care facility or provider where most disease surveillance traditionally occurs. One Health participatory surveillance that can detect major syndromes of potential emerging or reemerging pathogens through self-reporting on human, animal, or environmental health is a practical, scalable solution to identify and respond to rapidly spreading contagions.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
