Spun-out as a new organization in 2018 from the Skoll Global Threats Fund, Ending Pandemics provides scientific, technical and financial support to find, verify, and quickly contain outbreaks in emerging disease hotspots. It applies technology, builds local capacity, and works across borders – both geographic and sectoral, because the only way to avert a pandemic threat is to take a One Health approach working with physicians, veterinarians, government officials, environmentalists, and others. Among their many initiatives is PODD, the Participatory One Health Digital Disease Detection web and smartphone application for community members in Chiang Mai, Thailand to report unusual disease events in backyards, wild animals and humans. http://bit.ly/2AXWGz1
