Background on Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN)
GPHIN’s Role and managementGPHIN was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada
Primary source of public health information for the WHO as well as international governments and other non-government public health organizations
Managed by the Agency’s Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response Serves as the nerve centre for Canada's expertise and research in public health Coordinating efforts with other partners
GPHIN’s history1997 – Idea of two Health Canada physicians1998/99 – Prototype developed by Health Canada in partnership with WHO 2000 – Proof-of-concept2001 – Prototype deployed into production2002 – SARS2003 – Collaborative Research Agreement with Nstein Technologies Inc.2004 – Official launch of GPHIN II at United Nations

GPHIN's Scope – “Bugs-to-Bombs”
Human diseases -e.g. Ebola
Animal diseases -e.g. Streptococcus suis
Plant diseases -e.g. Asian soybean rust
Other Biologics -e.g. Anthrax
Chemical incidents -e.g. Chlorine plume
Radioactive exposures -e.g. Chernobyl disaster
Dangerous products -e.g. NSAID, Prozac
Natural disasters -e.g. Tsunami, 26 Dec 04

Issues with the GPHIN – production prototype
Gathers news reports primarily in English with limited FrenchNeed to support WHO official languages
English, French, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Arabic
Events detection based on a limited list of keywordsNo state-of-the-art text-mining
No real time translation of news reportNeed to manually render reports in the analyst’s native language
Production prototype was not robust, scalable nor scope-able
No collaboration process
