VISUALIZATION OF SURVEILLANCE DATA ON URBAN ARBOVIROSES TRANSMITTED BY AEDES AEGYPTI IN THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL

ABSTRACT

Arboviruses have become a constant concern for public health. The management of this large volume of data generated by the health system is necessary to better understand the dynamics of arboviruses, support public policies in the management of these diseases. Thus, data visualization becomes a promising resource that allows disseminating such information and thus increasing its visibility and use. We developed a dashboard for systematization and visualization of surveillance data on urban arboviruses transmitted by Aedes (Dengue; Zika and Chikungunya) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in order to favor its wide availability, accessibility and relevance for data-driven decision-making in health. The developed dashboard has four management panels, each of the studied arboviruses, displayed separately, and the fourth general panel represents the three unified arboviruses. The dashboard became functional and capable of being applied by public health management, presenting useful and valuable information, in a visual and uncomplicated way, to data-driven decision makers.
