We suggest an alternative approach to make better use of baseline human mortality and morbidity data to detect anomalies, building on existing frameworks for data collection and standardization and drawing on data from individual medical facilities. While most emerging diseases in humans originate in animals, focusing on animal surveillance may be an <em>ignis fatuus</em>, and detection should focus on human cases as early as possible after spillover. Animal-based surveillance for pandemic prevention is warranted for recurring outbreaks of known zoonotic pathogens when it can inform the detection of human cases. Further research is suggested in surveillance for pandemic preparedness utilizing human baseline data, using available routine health data, as well as other data sources generated outside the health sector which could detect anomalies. The methodology is potentially highly cost-effective and applicable to low- and middle-income countries.

To overcome these challenges, we propose the Digital OH (DOH) framework for data integration, which consolidates data-sharing principles within five pillars for the OH community of practice: (a) Harmonization of standards to establish trust, (b) Automation of data capture to enhance quality and efficiency, (c) Integration of data at point of capture to limit bureaucracy, (d) Onboard data analysis to articulate utility, and (e) Archiving and governance to safeguard the OH data resource. We discuss an upcoming pilot program as a use case focusing on antimicrobial resistance surveillance to illustrate the application of this framework. Our ambition is to leverage technology to create data as a shared resource using DOH not only to overcome current structural barriers but also to address prevailing ethical and legal concerns. By doing so, we can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making processes in the OH community of practice, at a national, regional, and international level.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100655,"journal":{"name":"IJID One Health","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949915123000112/pdfft?md5=157ae4bf25dfc0e07f9232bcb93ded9f&pid=1-s2.0-S2949915123000112-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135516011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
