Description
Imbusch and co-authors survey in 2026 the state of automated outbreak detection across the European Union and the United Kingdom. Automatic systems can flag outbreaks early and speed public health action, yet national use was little documented. Data came from a survey sent to 25 countries, an expert workshop, and follow ups during 2023 and 2024.
Twenty one countries answered. A third had working systems, a fifth planned them, and near half joined a pilot project. All surveyed countries said they act on detected signals in some form. The study maps demand, system prerequisites, and the barriers institutes face when putting such detection in place.
