SBIR Phase I: BioPortal - An Informatics Infrastructure for Infectious Disease and Biosecurity Information Sharing, Analysis, and Visualization

这项小企业创新研究（SBIR）的第一阶段提案旨在创建一个信息管理系统来监测传染病的爆发。该SBIR项目的目标是建立在正在进行的生物门户网站的基础上，开发用于传染病信息收集、共享、分析和可视化的综合基础设施，并证明其在现实世界公共卫生管理环境中的可行性。交付成果包括可扩展和灵活的消息传递模块，以促进现实世界的公共卫生数据收集和报告，具有可视化的新型时空数据分析技术，基于web的集成一站式信息共享和分析环境，以及评估商业可行性和技术采用的用户研究。拟议的工作预计将提供可行的系统架构设计和先进的数据分析功能，成为下一代公共卫生信息基础设施的一部分。拟议的信息基础设施将拥有广泛的潜在用户，包括州和县流行病学家、一般公共卫生工作者、研究人员和政策制定者、医生、分类护士、牲畜兽医、家畜兽医、植物疾病研究人员和从业人员，以及监测和响应生物安全事件的执法机构等。我们还计划扩展到包括私营部门在内的其他细分市场。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I proposal aims to create an information management system to monitor infectious disease outbreaks. The goal of this SBIR project is to build upon the ongoing BioPortal effort to develop an integrated infrastructure for infectious disease information collection, sharing, analysis, and visualization and to demonstrate its feasibility in real-world public health management settings. Deliverables include a scalable and flexible messaging module to facilitate real-world public health data collection and reporting, novel spatio-temporal data analysis techniques with visualization, an integrated, Web-based, one-stop information sharing and analysis environment, and a user study to assess commercial feasibility and technology adoption.The proposed work is expected to deliver a viable system architecture design and advanced data analysis functions to be part of the next-generation public health information infrastructure. The proposed informatics infrastructure will have a wide range of potential users including state and county epidemiologists, general public health workers, researchers and policy makers, physicians, triage nurses, livestock veterinaries, domestic animal veterinaries, plant disease researchers and practitioners, and law enforcement agencies monitoring and responding to biosecurity events, among others. We also plan to expand into other market segments including the private sector.
