IDalert

What IDalert does

IDAlert is an EU-funded Horizon Europe research project launched in 2022 that develops decision-support tools and early warning systems for climate-sensitive infectious diseases. The project is hosted and coordinated by Umeå University in Sweden, with Joacim Rocklöv serving as project coordinator and Raman Preet as cluster coordinator. It operates through a 19-partner consortium spanning Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and Bangladesh, and is one of six projects in the official Climate and Health Cluster alongside BlueAdapt, CATALYSE, CLIMOS, HIGH Horizons, and TRIGGER.

The core technical product is EpiOutlook, an open-access digital platform developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) that links sub-seasonal to seasonal climate forecasts with validated epidemiological indicators to provide seasonal risk assessments for climate-sensitive infectious diseases across Europe. Supporting products include the Mosquito Alert App for citizen-reported mosquito surveillance, Rapportera Fästring (Report Tick) for tick surveillance in Sweden, and quarterly Climatic Health Bulletins that translate EpiOutlook data into actionable public health intelligence. The project employs a One Health and EcoHealth systems perspective, integrating human, animal, and environmental health considerations through co-creation and citizen science methodologies validated at six case study sites.

IDAlert is a publicly funded non-profit research project, not a commercial enterprise. It does not generate revenue; its outputs are open-access public goods distributed freely to government health authorities, medical and public health professionals, humanitarian agencies, and climate-health researchers. The primary funding source is the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement 101057554, with engagement at the European Commission level through policy briefs and joint cluster outputs.

Core offering

IDalert develops open-access decision-support tools, alert systems, and early warning indicators that combine sub-seasonal to seasonal climate forecasts with validated epidemiological data to help public health authorities anticipate, forecast, and respond to climate-sensitive infectious disease threats in Europe. Its flagship output is the EpiOutlook platform produced with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, supported by citizen science surveillance tools and quarterly Climatic Health Bulletins.

Product overview

IDAlert is a Horizon Europe research project developing infectious disease decision-support tools and alert systems. The core offerings include EpiOutlook (a seasonal risk indicator platform that combines climate forecasts with epidemiological indicators for early warning), the Mosquito Alert App (citizen science tool for mosquito surveillance), and Rapportera Fästing (tick monitoring tool for Sweden). Supporting outputs include quarterly Climatic Health Bulletins derived from the EpiOutlook platform. These tools work together to improve Europe's resilience to climate-sensitive infectious diseases through anticipation, forecasting, and risk understanding.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• World Health Organization (WHO): WHO operates the global health mandate that includes climate-sensitive infectious disease surveillance and early warning. IDAlert collaborates with WHO/WMO on climate and health services, and WHO's broader programs compete for the same policy attention and member-state funding.
• UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA): UKHSA is a national public health agency that operates infectious disease surveillance and early warning systems in the UK, an IDAlert consortium country. It represents an incumbent national-level peer operating overlapping decision-support capabilities for climate-sensitive disease threats.
• European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC): ECDC is the EU agency responsible for infectious disease surveillance and early warning across Europe. IDAlert's EpiOutlook and decision-support tools directly serve ECDC-adjacent public health authority needs, making ECDC the dominant incumbent in IDAlert's target customer and capability space.

Direct peers

• TRIGGER: TRIGGER is one of the six Climate-Health Cluster projects and shares IDAlert's Horizon Europe funding and European public health preparedness mandate. Both projects operate within the same multi-country consortium model targeting EU climate-health risk assessment.
• HIGH Horizons: HIGH Horizons is another Climate-Health Cluster project focused on heat and health outcomes under climate change. It is a direct cluster peer with the same funding structure, EU policy engagement, and decision-support tool development approach as IDAlert.
• CATALYSE: CATALYSE is the sixth Climate-Health Cluster project alongside IDAlert, sharing Horizon Europe funding, consortium coordination, and the goal of advancing climate-health preparedness in Europe through multi-stakeholder research.
• BlueAdapt: BlueAdapt is a Climate-Health Cluster partner project addressing climate-induced health risks through water-related exposure pathways. It shares IDAlert's EU Horizon Europe funding mechanism, consortium governance, and public health decision-support mission.
• CLIMOS: CLIMOS is a fellow Horizon Europe Climate-Health Cluster project focused on climate and vector-borne disease risks, sharing the same EU funder, cluster structure, and consortium-of-partners operating model as IDAlert. Both projects develop climate-driven infectious disease decision-support capabilities targeting European public health agencies.

Emerging players

• Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS): BSC is the core technical partner that built the EpiOutlook platform for IDAlert and operates its Global Health Resilience team. While not a commercial competitor, BSC's broader climate-health and life sciences supercomputing work overlaps with IDAlert's analytical capability and could internalize or expand similar functionality.
• Mosquito Alert: Mosquito Alert is a long-running citizen science platform for mosquito surveillance that is integrated into IDAlert's vector-borne disease work. It is a partial-overlap peer on the citizen science vector data layer that IDAlert builds upon.
