About HantaMap.ai

What is HantaMap

HantaMap.ai is a real-time outbreak intelligence platform. It collects, verifies and presents health outbreak data from official sources. The goal is to help people understand global health risks through clear maps, verified updates and calm preparedness guidance.

HantaMap is not a health authority. It does not generate case numbers, diagnose conditions or replace medical advice. All data shown on the platform is sourced from public health organizations and scientific institutions.

Data verification

Every outbreak report and update published on HantaMap must include at least one verifiable source with a URL, publisher name and publication date. Reports are assigned a verification status:

• Verified: confirmed by an official health authority (WHO, ECDC, CDC or equivalent)
• Probable: supported by credible evidence, pending official confirmation
• Suspected: under investigation, not yet confirmed by authorities
• Disputed: conflicting reports from multiple sources
• Retracted: previously published data that has been withdrawn or corrected

Source hierarchy

HantaMap prioritizes sources in this order:

1. World Health Organization (WHO)
2. European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)
3. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
4. National health ministries
5. Regional health authorities
6. Peer-reviewed scientific institutions
7. Reputable media (for context only, not as primary case count source)

When sources conflict, HantaMap marks the data as "disputed" or "conflicting reports" rather than choosing one source silently.

Limitations

• HantaMap does not provide medical diagnosis or emergency medical advice.
• Case numbers may lag behind real-time conditions due to reporting delays.
• Data completeness depends on what official sources publish.
• If a number is marked "Unknown", it means the data is not available, not that it is zero.
• Zero means verified zero. Unknown means not available.
• Risk assessments in the personal area are rule-based and conservative. They do not represent personal medical risk scores.
