Abstract

Monitoring outbreaks of contagious diseases is an important task for public health officials and they must receive outbreak information quickly to respond to this threat. Social network sites such as Twitter can be leveraged to track self-reporting of diseases in real time. This work presents a prototype system, HealthShark, which monitors Twitter for mentions of contagious diseases. The authors outline the features of HealthShark, perform a user study to assess its usefulness as a tool for monitoring disease outbreaks, and discuss potential privacy concerns’ impact on the design of such a system.

期刊介绍： As information technology and the Internet become more and more ubiquitous and pervasive in our daily lives, there is an essential need for a more thorough understanding of information security and privacy issues and concerns. The International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) creates and fosters a forum where research in the theory and practice of information security and privacy is advanced. IJISP publishes high quality papers dealing with a wide range of issues, ranging from technical, legal, regulatory, organizational, managerial, cultural, ethical and human aspects of information security and privacy, through a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research articles, case studies, book reviews, tutorials, and editorials. This journal encourages submission of manuscripts that present research frameworks, methods, methodologies, theory development and validation, case studies, simulation results and analysis, technological architectures, infrastructure issues in design, and implementation and maintenance of secure and privacy preserving initiatives.
