1. What is the core idea behind "Epidemiologist in 2026: Outbreak Detection at Internet Speed"?

   1. Syndromic surveillance runs on ER notes, wastewater, and social signals. The epidemiologist designs the study, interprets the signal, and briefs the public. An anomaly detection model has flagged a GI cluster in one district.
   2. Scale AI, Surge AI, Invisible Technologies — data/RLHF vendors.
   3. Visitor demand — AI forecasts crowding for permitting.
   4. Retinal disease detection — DR, AMD, glaucoma, hypertensive changes.
