BU Launches an Open-Source Infectious Diseases Monitoring Tool Powered by AI and Human Experts
From measles, to influenza, to mpox, to malaria—infectious diseases outbreaks are happening all over the world, at nearly all times. For health professionals and public health officials, staying up-to-date with pathogens that are particularly dangerous—or have the potential to become a pandemic, like COVID-19 did—is vitally important to help keep us all safe. But accessing real-time information on outbreaks, as they pop up around the globe, isn’t always simple; currently, much of it is aggregated by hand.

Faculty across five BU research centers will work together to prevent future pandemics
A multidisciplinary team of researchers were awarded funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop models that predict disease emergence and spread, and to devise pandemic mitigation strategies. By Gina Mantica A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Boston University will work towards predicting and preventing future pandemics as part of a new $1 million […]
Could a Computer Diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia?
Researchers at Boston University have developed a new tool that could automate the process and, eventually, allow it to move online. Their machine learning–powered computational model can detect cognitive impairment from audio recordings of neuropsychological tests—no in-person appointment needed.
