Why Teams Monitor Public Health Events

A classification flags content for an analyst to review.

Public Health Events events often appear online before anyone reports them internally

Repeated scenarios show where risk concentrates, by site, product or supplier

A specific classification sends the alert to the team that owns it

Public Health Events: From Alert to Case

The Scout alert is the starting point. The risk category tells the investigator which people, places and things to establish first.

How the ChatGraph™ AI graph builder works
  • Scout alert: Disease Outbreak. Your team uses Nexus to establish which sites are named, what health authorities confirm, and what is rumor.
  • The analyst directs ChatGraph, which researches the people, places and things involved and writes them into the case with the sources it used.
  • Each link is marked established, alleged, not established or denied.
  • Entities the case turns up can go on a Scout monitor for the specific risk.

Teams That Watch Public Health Events
