The World Economic Forum believes pandemics could cause a $570 billion annual loss to the global economy. With the proliferation of infectious disease threats, including the resurgence of Measles resulting in New York declaring a public health emergency last week to a recently discovered pathogen called Candida auris that has emerged globally as a multidrug-resistant infection, it has become more critical than ever before to have better insights into outbreaks and ongoing epidemics. That is why Metabiota has launched the Metabiota Epidemic Tracker, a free, new platform to view, analyze and understand events that could impact people, industries and nations.

“Until now, there has not been an effective way for organizations to plan for — and mobilize against — emerging health threats,” said Bill Rossi, CEO of Metabiota. “As we saw from the impact of the Zika virus, where travel alerts correlated to significant financial losses for the hospitality industry, infectious disease events can cause a ripple effect of health and economic hardships. This tracker aligns with Metabiota’s mission to make the world more resilient to human and economic health threats by providing an open, focused and balanced view into emerging and ongoing outbreaks.”

Based on detailed information for over 120 pathogens, each with its unique profile, history and up-to-date statistics, including reported cases and deaths, The Epidemic Tracker is optimized for a wide range of users, from corporate risk managers assessing risks that could impact their organizations to health and safety professionals protecting their workforces to travel enthusiasts and anyone curious about the global health landscape.
