Watch live! Register for our Uncovering mpox: The underestimated crisis and its international spread webinar.
In response to the World Health Organization’s declaration of the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), BlueDot has enhanced its mpox surveillance offerings. Our upgraded solution delivers real-time insights and intelligence, tailored to monitor Clade I and Clade II separately.
As global surveillance needs intensify, this enhancement enables clients to perform clade-specific risk assessments, monitor clade activity trends, and compare the global spread of each clade. By allowing more robust analyses, public health and enterprise organizations can be better prepared and strengthen their response to the evolving mpox threat.
The WHO’s designation underscores the urgency driven by rising mpox cases, the emergence of a new strain (Clade Ib), and the critical need for coordinated global action. BlueDot has been closely monitoring mpox in the DRC since 2018, providing our clients with timely alerts, intelligence reports, and strategic support.
BlueDot’s Mpox Response To-date:
Clade-Specific Surveillance: BlueDot now offers on-demand surveillance intelligence on Clade I vs. Clade II activity separately, including reported cases, activity trends, and a live stream of relevant news media articles. This enhancement allows for more focused tracking and analysis, which is particularly crucial as Clade I may exhibit more severe symptoms.
Expert-Contextualized Outbreak Updates: For the most recent outbreak BlueDot has already issued 20 Event Alerts, 2 Intelligence reports, and 1 Outbreak Insider starting November 2023, informing clients about the ongoing outbreak and subsequent PHEIC declaration. Our team of experts are actively monitoring the evolving situation and we will continue to provide timely updates as new information becomes available.
