Installing SIDARTHa

If you decide to use the SIDARTHa syndromic surveillance system, please contact us (mail(at)sidartha.eu). Our IT partner BeValley Technologies can assist you to install the surveillance system in your institution. You are free to decide if you want to use the system in your own institution only or share your information also with other users online.

Using SIDARTHa

Please download here the User Manual for the SIDARTHa syndromic surveillance system and the SIDARTHa Coding Manual to support you to generate syndromes based on emergency medical data.

The SIDARTHa surveillance system can be installed at the local/regional level or even at single emergency institutions. Using historical data, local spatial-temporal baselines and thresholds for syndromes can be calculated and periodically updated within SIDARTHa. Routinely collected data can automatically be transferred to the SIDARTHa application in near real time. Using pre-defined spatial-temporal detection and modelling algorithms, the actual demand will be compared to predefined thresholds (e.g., two standard deviations). If a threshold is exceeded, the users is informed automatically.

Health authorities can use the early warning by SIDARTHa to initiate further analysis of the detected risk and organise a response. Further, the local/regional authorities can via the established reporting ways inform national health authorities which can report to the European early alerting systems (i.e., Dedicated Surveillance Networks (DSN), Rapid Alert Systems (RAS)) and the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS). SIDARTHa can directly be scanned by the European Medical Intelligence System (MedISys).

Another function of the European SIDARTHa component is the web-based risk communication platform targeting at emergency professionals and health authorities at the local/regional level. This platform can be used for a cross-border surveillance as well - based on the decision of the user if results or information can be shared with other users.

SIDARTHa will not replace but only complement any existing surveillance and alerting systems.
