How can we stop the next pandemic before it starts? Disease researchers Pardis Sabeti and Christian Happi introduce Sentinel, an early warning system that detects and tracks viral threats in real time — and could help stop them before they spread. Learn more about the cutting-edge technology that powers the system and how the Sentinel team is helping scientists and health workers during the coronavirus pandemic. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. You’re welcome to link to or embed these videos, forward them to others and share these ideas with people you know.

    We don’t need a big brother style “virus detection network” to spy on us; we need better health care institutions, public health measures, medical bills, medical infrastructure and an overhaul if the health care system.

    Khm.. WHO detect system is working well, we did not have ebola or other pandemics of 3rd world countries because of WHO system. The major problem with current pandemic is China. It wasn’t able to hold the pandemic and didn’t allow anti-virus experts from world. It’s like a Chernobyl, but Soviet Union admitted its mistake and revealed the truth, but China didn’t

    Thanks to both of you of talking and sharing your studies and research on this crisis. Lovely watching and listening from the top of Italian mountain.
