Reviewing and managing syndromic surveillance SaTScan datasets using an open source data visualization tool.

AMIA Annu Symp Proc:967.

SaTScan is a popular, free software tool used to identify disease clusters early in the course of an outbreak. Using geographic and time-based surveillance data, SaTScan can generate large datasets that are difficult for humans to interpret. Tracing disease clusters through space and time using text tables is a challenging cognitive task. To simplify this process, we developed a Java-based open-source tool to transform SaTScan analytic datasets into easily navigable data visualizations.
