ABSTRACT=Robust digital infrastructure is vital and need of the hour especially in the healthcare sector for real-time data generation, analysis, and quick decision making. Food and water-borne illnesses represent a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Our manuscript aims to provide insights into the digital surveillance system to tackle complex infections like these. We discuss the use of innovative approaches, data collection and analytical techniques to improve the disease detection and monitoring leading to better outcomes. especially in countries like India where the population is growing at an exponential rate. Since, it demonstrates the practical methods, the manuscript is highly relevant to the digital health community.
