Abstract
Global public health surveillance relies on reporting structures and transmission of trustworthy health reports. But in practice, these processes may not always be fast enough, or are hindered by procedural, technical, or political barriers. GPHIN, the Global Public Health Intelligence Network, was designed in the late 1990s to scour mainstream news for health events, as that travels faster and more freely. This paper outlines the next generation of GPHIN, which went live in 2017, and reports on design decisions underpinning its new functions and innovations.
