SOS Dengue: A Mobile Application for Collaborative Mapping of Dengue Cases in Urban Areas
Abstract
Due to the increasing rise in Dengue cases in Brazilian municipalities in recent years, and considering the importance of joint efforts in combating the Aedes aegypti mosquito, this article presents the SOS Dengue app, a tool aimed at recording occurrences of the disease in urban areas, with the purpose of contributing to public health in tackling this ailment. The app utilizes a collaborative mapping system, allowing different users to report suspected locations with mosquito breeding sites or confirmed cases of the disease. Additionally, SOS Dengue provides dynamic reports, showing areas with higher disease incidence and displays the precise location of each case on the city map in real-time. Results obtained after evaluation by ordinary citizens in a public test demonstrate that the proposed objective was successfully achieved.
