日益复杂的信息技术形式的广泛采用与快速而深远的国际旅行的增加并行不悖。2009年甲型H1N1流感病毒的出现和全球传播不仅说明了相互关联的世界的危险，也说明了检测、跟踪和应对传染病的新方法的强大作用。虽然正式的报告、监测和应对结构对于保护公共卫生仍然至关重要，但新一代可免费获取的在线实时疾病跟踪信息学工具正在扩大公共卫生专业人员发现跨境微弱信号和对新出现的疾病威胁发出早期预警的能力。
The widespread adoption of increasingly sophisticated forms of information technology has paralleled the increase in rapid and far-reaching international travel. The emergence and global spread of the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus illustrated not only the hazards of an interconnected world, but also the powerful role of new methods for detecting, tracking, and responding to infectious diseases. Although formal reporting, surveillance, and response structures remain essential to protecting public health, a new generation of freely accessible, online, and real-time informatics tools for disease tracking are expanding the ability of public health professionals to detect weak signals across borders and to raise earlier warnings of emerging disease threats.
