About the ABVC Dashboard

Introduction to data and visualizations

---

The ASEAN BioDiaspora Virtual Center (ABVC) dashboard displays a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) that counts infectious and emerging diseases, including cases and mortality reported by countries, as well as the latest daily public health event that informs about diseases events found in the news. We hope that this dashboard will provide frequent updates to data visualization and dissemination.

Data visualization is graphical representation of data that help user understand varied information. They translate raw data into graphical formats, allowing for more rapid and intuitive analysis. Why visualization is important:

1. Simplicity: They make various information more understandable.
2. Visualization can reveal hidden trends and outliers in raw data.
3. Effective communication: data visualization can simplify various information for wider user.
4. Clear visualizations help user make sensible decision faster.

Carefulness must be exercised when interpreting all provided data and possible inconsistencies information across products released by the ABVC, WHO, national public health authorities and other sources with various inclusion criteria and data cut-off timings which will always be expected. However, endless efforts are made to ensure accuracy and reliability where all data is subject to continuous verification and update. All the above data may vary due to differences in case detection, definition, laboratory testing, vaccination strategy and reporting methodologies.
