The product of the research will be a new set of products and product categories—like the pediatric electrolyte category identified by our preliminary studies—that we expect to transition quickly into routine public health surveillance practice via implementation in the National Retail Data Monitor, with the potential to reduce the impact of epidemics that cost as much as $96 million in the case of the large Milwaukee Cryptosporidiosis outbreak to as much as billions of dollars as estimated by researchers for several bioterrorism scenarios. )
