An algorithm on HealthMap, an international mapping tool that detects and tracks diseases, found Ebola, called a “mystery hemorrhagic fever,” just over a week before it spread, though the founders didn’t initially realize the importance of what they discovered.
Eight people reported the mysterious disease in March. It caught the HealthMap team’s attention, but they didn’t call out a massive issue until it was confirmed as Ebola on March 22.
L’#algorithme avait trouvé mais on ne s’en était pas aperçu.
On a compris que c’était ça une fois que d’autres l’ont confirmé.
On peut appeler ça détection précoce…
