Acoustic monitoring for infectious disease epidemiology: Uses and advancements
Author(s): Kharbanda Duong*
Global public health continues to be severely impacted by newly
emerging infectious illnesses, and there is an urgent need to
better understand the patterns of transmission that emerge at
the nexus between human activities and wildlife habitats. Passive
acoustic monitoring (PAM), which is more frequently used to study
biodiversity and conservation issues, offers the chance to gather and
analyse audio data in nearly real-time and at a cheap cost. With
the growth of cloud-based computing, affordable hardware, and
machine learning techniques, acoustic technologies are becoming
more widely available. Acoustic data can supplement current
surveillance techniques and offer a fresh toolkit for examining the
crucial biological factors and ecological interactions that underlie
infectious disease epidemiology when combined with deliberate
experimental desig.. View More»
