Hi Sirithep! Thank you for the presentation. I appreciate that you chose RSV, as it’s increasingly relevant not only in children but also in adults and the elderly. I agree with the use of sentinel and syndromic surveillance across schools and daycare centers, though it would be helpful to clarify how active surveillance will be implemented.

I also agree that the extended SARI definition works well for hospital-based severe cases, though including apnea and sepsis in infants might be less suitable for surveillance purposes. The ARI definition for community-based surveillance is reasonable and could be integrated with other respiratory virus outbreaks like influenza or COVID-19 to strengthen detection capacity.

And just a minor point for me, the sound was a bit off at times, but your slides were clear and informative, so it wasn’t difficult to follow.

Dear Sirithep,
I agree with Salin that you might need further explanation on how active surveillance will be implemented. For the case definition, it is quite challenging to narrow down to RSV among other respiratory illnesses of COVID 19 and flu too that you might need to increase your data accuracy somehow to work efficiently. Thanks for interesting surveillance system.

Hi Sirithep!
Thank you for your interesting presentation.
I agree with your sentinel and syndromic surveillance approach regarding the RSV infection particularly in hospitals and clinics for sentinel surveillance and community settings for syndromic surveillance. And I appreciate your discussion on seasonal trends and responses like resource allocation, vaccination and awareness campaigns ahead. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your great presentation, Khun Sirithep!

Your presentation provides good information regarding RSV and its surveillance system. You mentioned well on rationale, objectives, stakeholders, data flow and data utilization. Just one comment from my end. Since the system will be evaluated by several indicators, it would be great if you include how those indicators will be collected (from what kind of sources), and why all those indicators are relevant for the system. I am just wondering how these all indicators will have impact on the RSV surveillance system and support the better decision making process.

Thank you very much!

Dear Sirithep,

I would like to know how to apply technology to improve data collection and analysis for this surveillance system. As it is respiratory virus, less human interaction is important for the safety. I also would to know how evaluation indicators can be collected and monitor with less manual effeort.

Thank you.
