STRATEGY BASED ON INNOVATION AND GLOBAL CHANGE
■ Have crazy and baroque ideas !
■ Want to change !
■ Dare to take risks,
■ Have a multidisciplinary approach,
■ Have an integrative approach,

TELE – EPIDEMIOLOGY CONCEPT (concept patented, 2009)
■ Predicting and monitoring of geographical evolution of epidemics ( in
relation with climate changes) using mathematical modelling with a
multidisciplinary approach
■ Using 4 types of parameters:
Š Environmental
x Space (atmospheric, oceanic, land-cover observations...)
x In-situ (hydrology, in-situ observations…)
Š Human/animal clinical
Š Entomological (vectors)
Š Socio-economical data

INDICES FROM SPACE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
■ Vegetation Indices (NDVI)
■ Sea Surface Temperature Indices
■ Altimetry
■ Chlorophyll and Ocean Color
■ Moisture Indices
■ Rainfall Indices
■ Infrared Radiation Index
■ Urbanization

CNES PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE
SERVICES
■ Environement/Climate/Health Program
Lobbying
national
European
International
■ Pilot projects in cooperation
- Senegal : RVF, Urban malaria in Dakar to be extended to Mali, Niger,
Burkina-Faso
- Argentina: dengue to be extended to Bolivia, Paraguay, Brasil,
- Algeria: malaria,leischmaniosis,
- India: dengue (in discussion)
■ Multidisciplinary approach to develop and validate new space products
■ Satellite as a complementary tool to be combined with existing tools
■ Transfert scientific development towards operational service providers
■ Encourage business development using teledetection for health

Tele – epidemiology has social impacts
■ T.E. Allows continuous monitoring, contribute to Early Warning Systems
(EWS), and disease prevention associated with environmental
perturbations and fluctuations,
■ Integrated approach can be applied to other conditions:
Š Nosocomial infections in hospitals,
Š Biological conflicts
Š Flu fevers

Tele – epidemiology including space data is an efficient tool for
Public Health
■ Original and cost-effective approach,
■ Integrating satellite products, sentinel networks, and in-situ
infrastructures,
■ Key hardware and software already operational
