PromedNow

PromedNow is a global health intelligence platform that provides real-time monitoring and analysis of infectious disease outbreaks. It was founded in 2006 by Dr. Peter Daszak and Dr. David Morens, and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The platform aggregates data from various sources, including news reports, social media, and official health reports, to track the spread of infectious diseases worldwide.

PromedNow's primary function is to disseminate information about emerging infectious diseases, enabling public health officials, researchers, and the general public to stay informed about potential threats. The platform uses a combination of automated algorithms and human curation to verify and categorize reports, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information provided.

The platform has been widely recognized for its role in monitoring and responding to major outbreaks, such as the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic. PromedNow's data has been used by governments, international organizations, and researchers to inform public health policies and guide response efforts.

PromedNow operates on a subscription-based model, offering different tiers of access to its data and tools. The platform is used by a diverse range of stakeholders, including public health agencies, research institutions, media outlets, and individual users interested in global health trends.
