Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide techniques which utilize crowdsourced reports of environmental conditions to predict and/or prevent disease outbreaks. In one aspect, a method comprises receiving one or more crowdsourced reports about one or more environmental conditions; inferring one or more input parameters for at least one disease outbreak model based at least in part on the one or more crowdsourced reports; applying the at least one disease outbreak model to at least the one or more inferred parameters to predict one or more characteristics of at least one potential disease outbreak associated with the reported one or more environmental conditions; and, based at least in part on the predicted one or more characteristics, implementing one or more corrective actions to mitigate the at least one potential disease outbreak.
