The future of food safety is active analysis of surveillance information to detect outbreaks earlier.
Using a forward-thinking approach, Polly™ is being used in combination with wastewater data to track the spread of foodborne illness for Genome Canada.
This project is in partnership with the University of Guelph, Laval University and NC State University for Genome Canada.
"I chose [Polly™] as our research partner to study the use of social media in predicting foodborne disease because of their

rigorous scientific research methodology. Polly has been an essential research tool in our disease forecasting work."
