Abstract:Approaches based on the analysis of internet search query data can be important for understanding public reaction and conducting disease surveillance. One of these tools may be the Yandex.Wordstat service. In addition to near-universal public access to search services and the ability to collect real-time data, many users search information in the internet before visiting a doctor, which makes it possible to better capture the onset of diseases, the processes associated with them and the reaction of society.The… Show more
The pandemic of a new coronavirus infection has become a serious challenge for the health system of all countries, so as of May 2023, 766 million confirmed cases of the disease and more than 6.9 million deaths have been registered in the world. More than 22 million cases and 398 thousand deaths from a new coronavirus infection have been registered in the Russian Federation. The rapidly changing epidemiological situation necessitated the systematization of the material for analytical work. The need to create special tools for aggregating an array of heterogeneous information has become obvious. The high rate of accumulation of mutations in the genome of the pathogen made it necessary to study circulating genovariants both from the standpoint of their escape from postmorbid and postvaccinal immunity, and from the point of view of the characteristics of the epidemic process caused by individual variants of the virus and their significance for practical health care and the organization of antiepidemic measures. The significant heterogeneity in terms of population density, geographical and economic conditions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation necessitated the organization of work on the implementation of continuous molecular genetic monitoring of the variability of the COVID-19 pathogen. The active development of computing technologies and the challenges faced by the epidemiological surveillance system during the COVID-19 pandemic created the prerequisites for the rapid development of the process of digital transformation in epidemiology. Three platforms were created on the basis of Central Research Institute of Epidemiology the Russian data aggregation system VGARus, SOLAR and an analytical platform for analyzing the epidemiological situation regarding the new coronavirus infection based on the Superset program, which were the main tools for epidemiological monitoring of the new coronavirus infection.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
