The outbreak is now being asked to file its own forecast
the outbreak is now being asked to file its own forecast: an ai powered climate and geospatial system ranks dengue risk across 11 southeast asian countries into five tiers, a neural network trained on 14 years of monthly cases reaches 97 percent accuracy in bangladesh, and a transferable network adapts forecasts to data scarce regions by learning just two global parameters.
the clinic now files its own outbreak log.
Context
SENTINEL-Dengue ASEAN-11, published in the International Journal of Geoinformatics on 2 July 2026, is an AI-powered climate and geospatial system for dengue early warning across Southeast Asia. It uses explainable AI to estimate dengue alert probability and the climate and environmental predictors behind it, and its output is a surveillance-priority framework with five classes: high risk with high confidence, high risk with high uncertainty, moderate risk, low risk and data-insufficient. A Bangladesh paper in PMC studied 14 years of monthly dengue incidence (2010 to 2024) with temperature, precipitation and humidity. A separate Bangladesh deep learning paper reports a simple ANN with 97.05% accuracy on held-out data. TREA-Net, an arXiv paper of 29 July 2026, adds a residual correction to neural forecasters and needs only two global parameters for target adaptation.
The five tiers are the framework's own categories, which include a data-insufficient class. The 97.05% is the ANN paper's accuracy figure on its own held-out data, and these sources do not show it is the same study as the 14-year PMC paper. TREA-Net was tested by transferring from Colombia and Nicaragua to Mexico and Malaysia with 78 or 104 weeks of target data, so it does not cover all data-scarce regions. These are separate papers with different designs, so the figures do not compare directly. The clinic filing its own outbreak log is the author's framing.
