Node view: a mHealth real-time infectious disease interface disease interface - 2014 ebola outbreak case study

Published: 07 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

We present a real-time interface which allows for contact tracing using ubiquitous sensors present in the Node smartphone application on Android phones. The initial application seeks to aid in the prevention of infectious diseases in Lagos, Nigeria through installing the application on up to 100 smartphones. In our demo we demonstrate how anonymous user IDs can be interrogated from a real-time dataset. Using this information a public policy maker or health worker can identify infected or at risk individuals immediately. Furthermore, they can notify such individuals if they are at risk. Lastly, future work will allow us to use this information to model the spread of an infectious disease in real-time with geospatial resolution not readily available in typical infectious disease models.
