Hi Umar, Congrats on the successful deployment. Any publications (or anything else you can share) on how the system is implemented? Yaw On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 4:53 AM, Umar Saif <umar@lums.edu.pk> wrote:
Dear Friends -
MIT Technology Review has an published article on our smart-phone based early epidemic detection system used to coordinate the Dengue prevention efforts by government of Punjab this year. Our system used hundreds of android phones, logged 38,867 prevention activities by several government of punjab departments (notably Department of Health and City district government) over a period of 5 months, accurately tracked both Aedes larvea clusters and confirmed patients and generated early warnings on outbreaks:

We are also making (most of) our data and prediction system public:

This may be a little slow given the amount of data it has to fetch and the load on our servers after making the system public. The tab "early epidemic detection system" will take you to our statistical prediction system, dragging the slider at the bottom will show you early warnings generated by our system (Sept-Oct'12).
