BFES

Biosurveillance Field Entry System

Image containing a photo of a person in a cattle pasture clicking an iPad tablet to fill out an animal assessment. Also shown is the BFES application login screen.
A cross platform mobile application that can be used by veterinarians for easily capturing of syndromic symptoms of animals in the field. This application allows for form-based submission in both a live and store-and-forward fashion for use in even very rural locations. The results can be queried and displayed in both a geospatial and temporal fashion within an analyst workstation. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.

CGDS

Coast Guard Display System

Screenshot of the Coast Guard Dashboard System that consists of a center map of the Puget Sound, Washington, area overlayed with vessel icons. The map is surrounded by numerous dashboard components providing various modeling data and information.
A web-based information dashboard that provides a user-defined common operating picture across multiple echelons and within different functional areas. This tool was used as part of an on-the-water exercise by the Coast Guard’s Sector Seattle Command Center in August of 2009. These dashboards provided integration of live data feeds describing the current operational environment, real-time video and sensors for providing monitoring and surveillance capabilities, and custom simulation and visual analytic products. The common integration of these diverse tools supported the full decision-making process.

EPS

Enhanced Passive Surveillance Analyst Workstation

Screenshot of the AgConnect Enhanced Passive Surveillance (EPS) web application that consists of a 2D map of the south-western U.S. and various counties colored within Arizona and New Mexico. The map is surrounded by numerous dashboard components providing various modeling data and information. Overlayed on the image is an iPad showing a screenshot of the mobile app with Texas counties color-coded and a graph of data.
A system for integrating and analyzing syndromic surveillance data captured from mobile apps and other relevant sources. The data is aggregated and combined with embedded visualization and analysis tools to help determine baseline conditions in order to detect any anomalies that may signal the onset of an animal disease outbreak. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
