An Overview of the Medical Data Surveillance System (MDSS)

Abstract

The Medical Data Surveillance System (MDSS) is a Web-enabled system for medical surveillance of deployed Navy and Marine Corps forces. The primary objective of MDSS is to rapidly detect medical threats through the analysis of routinely collected patient data. This system represents the culmination of years of naval research and a productive collaboration between Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC-SD). The personnel at NHRC have extensive expertise in medical and epidemiological research, while the personnel at SSC-SD provide knowledge and expertise in signal detection and system engineering.
