Scientists are using technology to help bring awareness about infectious illnesses by researching a certain illness and learning more about it. If the illness is a new "never seen before" illness chances are not many people know about it, so the scientists may decide to analyze it by testing the side affects and how it affects different people. Anothe thing they may do is tell doctors about it so they are in the know as well. Using advanced technology will help the scientists do the research needed to keep us all safe.
