Abstract Background WW-based epidemiology is the detection of pathogens from wastewater, typically sewage systems. Its use gained popularity during COVID-19 pandemic as a rapid and non-invasive way to assess infection prevalence in population. Public facing dashboards for SARS-CoV-2 were developed response discovery that RNA biomarkers being shed faeces before symptoms. However, there not standard template or guidance countries follow. The aim this research reflect on how currently available evolved identify suitable content rationale these experiences. Methods Results Interviews carried out with implementers users WW data across Europe North America. interviews addressed commonalities inconsistencies displaying epidemiological SARS-CoV-2, clinical parameters COVID-19, variants, transparency. thematic analysis identified dashboard elements can facilitate standardization, at least interoperability. These emphasise communication among developers under same organization, open access stakeholders, summarized time-intensive graphic through normalizing by Simultaneous surveillance recommended.
