Abstract
Digital health has revolutionised healthcare, with implications for understanding public reactions to health emergencies and interventions, while real-time analysis provides a new opportunity for rapidly detecting changes in public confidence in vaccines. Medi+board implements tools for infectious disease surveillance and outbreak management, and the novel aim of the VAC medi+board is to design an interactive visualisation framework integrating heterogeneous real-time data streams with social network data, to meet information needs as articulated by the LSHTM Vaccine Confidence Project (VCP) investigators.
