| Abstract | Mankind has experienced several deadly disease outbreaks, such as, cholera, plague, yellow fever, SARS, and dengue. Researchers need to study disease propagation data in order to understand patterns of disease outbreaks, their nature, symptoms, and ways of containment and cure. Though our healthcare establishments record and maintain patient information, they fail to detect a pandemic at an early stage due to the following challenges. Firstly, modern people are too busy to visit a doctor at the early stage of their symptoms which along with their high degree of mobility fuels the risk of contagion. Secondly, even for the recorded cases of a disease, quickly consolidating all local information to detect disease propagation over a large area is nontrivial using today's technology. Finally, all existing methods of outbreak detection identifies a single day of outbreak which is less realistic considering that outbreak happens over a period of time. In this paper, we introduce a wearable sensor based mobile application to capture early symptoms of a disease and to ensure faster consolidation of isolated cases over large areas. We then apply a purely novel technique based on discrepancy scores to detect disease outbreak-period. Experiments and prototypes show the usability and efficiency of our solution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
