BlueDot, Inc. and Huron Join Forces to Strengthen an Organization’s Response to Epidemics

Together, the companies provide epidemic intelligence solutions that can help governments and global enterprises mitigate the impact of infectious disease threats like COVID-19

TORONTO--()--BlueDot, Inc. is pleased to announce that it is collaborating with Huron, a global consultancy, to offer epidemic intelligence solutions that can help companies prepare for a more efficient and effective epidemic response. The alliance combines Huron’s leading consulting services with BlueDot’s trusted global epidemic intelligence platform.

The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shockwaves through the world with its widespread morbidity and economic impact. As nations and multinationals look beyond the pandemic, they need solutions that can help them better protect people and mitigate the instability of future epidemics. BlueDot was at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic and on December 31, 2019, its epidemic intelligence platform alerted clients around the world to the emerging risk of an undiagnosed respiratory syndrome in China, which was later identified as COVID-19.

“The world can no longer afford to ignore the problem of global epidemics, which are accelerating in frequency and becoming more dangerous,” said Dr. Kamran Khan, BlueDot founder and CEO. “We’re excited to be teaming up with Huron. Our alliance brings together the science, technology, and analytics of the BlueDot platform with Huron’s global consulting expertise in empowering public and private sectors.”

The teams will work together to integrate highly contextualized infectious disease intelligence into an organization’s existing workflow, giving clients a near real-time view of epidemic threats and their impacts anywhere in the world.

“With our collective capabilities and expertise across Huron and BlueDot we can better empower our clients in identifying risks to quickly prepare and respond to infectious disease threats,” said Amanda Bonser, managing director and leader of the federal government business for Huron.

BlueDot published the world’s first peer-reviewed scientific study on the COVID-19, correctly predicting eight of the top 10 cities that were first impacted by the disease.
