THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL UTILIZATION OF BIG DATABASES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN INTERNATIONAL MILITARY MEDICAL SYSTEM

Abstract

In order to mitigate the exposure due to the increasing threat of war and terrorism, near-real-time surveillance (NRTS) has been identified as a preventive tool for unconventional, non-typical military actions and attacks (chemical, biological, radiological materials (CBRN) Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear materials). These are collectively known as near-real-time surveillance tools. The tool can also be used to prevent or reduce other epidemiological damage , the outbreak and spread of epidemics. In addition to the application of the Epi-NATO-2 system, which is already in use within NATO, an NRTS system developed by the NATO Centre of Excellence for Military Medicine was tested within the framework of an international military exercise, followed by live testing in KFOR. Experience has shown that further fine-tuning is needed, but the device performs well.

A key condition for future use is the coordination of databases and the provision of NRTS data.
