GeoSentinel allows members to collaborate and support each other. Members from many countries are linked together to share clinical observations and facilitate direct interaction with health authorities.

Participating GeoSentinel Sites see post-travel patients and enter data on demographics, travel history and clinical information into the GeoSentinel electronic database. The data is monitored and periodically analyzed in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A major goal is to track new or emerging travel-related illnesses and to rapidly disseminate and publish findings.
