AIDO is a tool designed to enhance situational awareness of an unfolding disease event. This capability is accomplished by providing context and a frame of reference for disease surveillance information through matching of user input to a library of global historical disease outbreaks.

This tool was previously known as the Surveillance Window Application (SWAP).
