A crowdsourcing project called HealthMap managed to detect abnormal activity in the West African region long before scientists and health officials proclaimed an Ebola outbreak. Through data the project collected they found evidence of a “mystery hemorrhagic fever” which had been killing people in South East Guinea. It was not until a full 9 days later that the World Health Organisation (WHO) went public with information on the outbreak.
