“…Disease-specific surveillance, which is the traditional type of surveillance, has existed for many years and was the chief component of public health strategies [ 14 ]. This type of surveillance data is considered accurate [ 36 ]; however, they do not identify emerging infectious diseases because of limited resources, time, and reporting systems [ 16 ]. Timeliness and sensitivity are the most essential features of surveillance systems to detect outbreaks and identify health threats early.…”

“…Outbreak and an emerging public health threat detected (ie, SARS c ) [ Digital surveillance conducted using either passive or active approaches for data collection has become essential for infectious disease surveillance [16]. Passive surveillance is inexpensive and provides critical information for monitoring community health compared with active surveillance as critical data are reported by multiple health institutions such as hospitals, clinics, and public health units.…”

“…Traditional and disease-specific surveillance relies on passive routine reporting by health care facilities and diagnostic laboratories for structured predefined information regarding infectious disease events. However, this indicator-based surveillance (IBS) is inefficient because of limited resources, time, and reporting systems, which results in the incomplete reporting of data on emerging infectious diseases [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Background Mass gatherings (MGs; eg, religious, sporting, musical, sociocultural, and other occasions that draw large crowds) pose public health challenges and concerns related to global health. A leading global concern regarding MGs is the possible importation and exportation of infectious diseases as they spread from the attendees to the general population, resulting in epidemic outbreaks. Governments and health authorities use technological interventions to support public health surveillance and prevent and control infectious diseases. Objective This study aims to review the evidence on the effectiveness of public health digital surveillance systems for infectious disease prevention and control at MG events. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in January 2022 using the Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus databases to examine relevant articles published in English up to January 2022. Interventional studies describing or evaluating the effectiveness of public health digital surveillance systems for infectious disease prevention and control at MGs were included in the analysis. Owing to the lack of appraisal tools for interventional studies describing and evaluating public health digital surveillance systems at MGs, a critical appraisal tool was developed and used to assess the quality of the included studies. Results In total, 8 articles were included in the review, and 3 types of MGs were identified: religious (the Hajj and Prayagraj Kumbh), sporting (the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Federation International Football Association World Cup, and the Micronesian Games), and cultural (the Festival of Pacific Arts) events. In total, 88% (7/8) of the studies described surveillance systems implemented at MG events, and 12% (1/8) of the studies described and evaluated an enhanced surveillance system that was implemented for an event. In total, 4 studies reported the implementation of a surveillance system: 2 (50%) described the enhancement of the system that was implemented for an event, 1 (25%) reported a pilot implementation of a surveillance system, and 1 (25%) reported an evaluation of an enhanced system. The types of systems investigated were 2 syndromic, 1 participatory, 1 syndromic and event-based, 1 indicator- and event-based, and 1 event-based surveillance system. In total, 62% (5/8) of the studies reported timeliness as an outcome generated after implementing or enhancing the system without measuring its effectiveness. Only 12% (1/8) of the studies followed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for evaluating public health surveillance systems and the outcomes of enhanced systems based on the systems’ attributes to measure their effectiveness. Conclusions On the basis of the review of the literature and the analysis of the included studies, there is limited evidence of the effectiveness of public health digital surveillance systems for infectious disease prevention and control at MGs because of the absence of evaluation studies.

BACKGROUND Wearable sensor bracelets have gained interest for their ability to detect symptomatic and presymptomatic infections by detecting alterations in physiological indicators. Nevertheless, the utilisation of these devices for public health surveillance among attendees of large-scale events like Hajj is currently in a nascent phase. OBJECTIVE To explore Hajj stakeholders’ perspectives on the use of wearable sensor bracelets for disease detection. METHODS We conducted a qualitative, theoretically informed, interview-based study involving a diverse sample of Hajj stakeholders, including technology experts, healthcare providers, and Hajj service providers. The study was guided by the Task-Technology Fit Model (TTF) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the acceptance and utilisation of the technology. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were employed to capture perspectives on using wearable sensor bracelets for infectious disease detection in Hajj. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts was conducted. RESULTS A total of 14 individuals were interviewed.Implementing wearable sensor bracelets for disease detection during Hajj faces obstacles from multiple perspectives, encompassing users, providers, and technological factors. Hajj stakeholders are concerned about the substantial financial and operational barriers. The motivation of providers and users is essential for the acceptance and uptake of devices during Hajj. Successful integration of wearables into the Hajj surveillance system depends on several factors, including infrastructure, device features, suitable use cases, training, and a smooth organisational integration process. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable insights into the potential opportunities and challenges of adopting wearable sensor bracelets for disease detection during Hajj. It offers essential factors to consider and important suggestions to enhance comprehension and ensure the effective implementation of this technology.
