GIDEON works to combat this by creating a diagnosis through geographical indicators,[2] a map of the status of the disease in history, a detailed list of potential vaccines and treatments,[3] and finally listing all the potential species of the disease or outbreak such as bacterial classifications.
The second module follows the epidemiology of individual diseases, including their global background and status in each of 205 countries and regions.
Several thousand high-quality images are also available, including clinical lesions, roentgenograms, Photomicrographs and disease life cycles.
The third module is an interactive encyclopedia which incorporates the pharmacology, usage, testing standards and global trade names of all antiinfective drugs and vaccines.
