Summary :

Set up an observatory of the spatiotemporal evolution of influenza-like illness and the early detection of epidemics using SMF data. We used the SIS-READ data stream for estimating the incidence of the diagnosis “influenza-like illness”. The Serfling method was used to detect the epidemic. The interpolated map was generated by the Krigeage method.
Given the collection method used by SMF, the stability and the temporal resolution, the independence of disease (all acts are automatically recorded in real time) and the spatial representativeness of the SMF network, the estimation of incidence is more reliable and more accurate than the currently used sources of reference. The epidemic was detected several weeks earlier.
