"This presentation delineates the transition from traditional, statistically-driven sampling to "Smart Surveillance"—a model-based approach that leverages the dynamics of infectious diseases to optimize detection efficiency. By integrating spatiotemporal data and stochastic network analysis, researchers demonstrate that targeted surveillance can achieve 5 to 8 times greater efficiency than random or uniform ..."
