GPS Based Dengue Risk Index Calculator

Computer Engineering

Dengue is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus it is an extensively scattering disease spread by several species of female mosquitoes of the Aedes type. The susceptibility of an dengue epidemic outbreak can be predicted by several factors such as atmospheric conditions, seasons, hygiene and cleanliness of the area and the types of water bodies present in surrounding. The Government of India has taken many steps towards the avoidance and cure, yet technology can also provide a solution. Hereafter our application will let you know the status of dengue risk index at your current location and surrounding locations. Application will use GPS for finding the current location of user and thereafter through calculations from factors like previously encountered dengue cases, Atmospheric conditions and hygiene conditions in the specific area it will calculate and show the dengue risk index to the user so that the user may know the susceptibility of infection. The intend of this application is specifically for general public but it can also be used by the medical industry and hospitals to improvise their methods of preventing this disease. Application only requires a GPS enabled smart phone through which it can be useful to public living in areas most prone to dengue infection or the areas which have encountered dengue epidemic previously.
