Balancing Human Mobility and Health Care Coverage in Sentinel Surveillance of Brazilian Indigenous Areas: Mathematical Optimization Approach
The proposed framework optimizes sentinel site allocation to enhance disease surveillance and early detection. By maximizing DSEI coverage and integrating human mobility patterns, this approach provides a more effective and equitable surveillance network, which would particularly benefit underserved Indigenous regions.
