1. A system for detecting endemic or epidemic diseases, including a cell covering a particular geographical area and including:

  • a plurality of health booths installed in said area and connected via a telecommunications network to a remote analysis center, each health booth allowing a user to conduct self-measurement and comprising;

    a shell;

    a chair;

    a first measurement device configured for a user to measure health data relative to the health of the user;

    a second measurement device configured to determine, at the time of taking a measurement with the first measurement device, one or more environmental conditions of the health booth under which said measurement is taken;

    data storage configured to store said measured health data from the first measurement device in a data structure together with said condition(s) under which the measurements were taken; and

    a transmission system configured to send said data structure to said remote analysis center via said network;

    said remote analysis center comprising;

    a receiving system configured to receive said data structures sent by said plurality of health booths;

    a database configured to store;

    a range of normal values for each type of said health data measured by the first measurement device; and

    a range of interpretable values for each type of environmental condition measured by the second measurement device;

    a calculator configured to determine;

    the number of data structures, sent by the plurality of health booths, that include interpretable environmental conditions received during a particular time period, and in the data structures that include interpretable environmental conditions;

    the percentage of abnormal health data for each type of health data; and

    an alert trigger configured to trigger an alert via said network if;

    said number of data structures is above a threshold; and

    the percentage of abnormal data for one or more types of data is above a threshold;

    the type of alert being chosen as a function of the number of types of data for which said percentage of data is abnormal.
