An architecture supported by georeferenced services and ubiquitous computing for controlling of mosquito Aedes Aegypti focus — Case Inhumas, Goiás, Brazil

Abstract

The cases of infections, hospitalizations and deaths from dengue in the world represent a scenario that involves a series of public policy. Among the hosts of the disease tropical countries, Brazil stands out with high levels of potentially alarming cases, mainly due to its environmental and social conditions favorable to the proliferation of the mosquito Aedes Aegypti. Given scenario, this paper presents the development of an architecture supported by ubiquitous and georeferenced technologies to assist in monitoring and epidemiological control of Dengue. This proposal provides a history of the incidence of monitored areas, allowing community health workers and others involved obtaining metrics for policy making and social control. The elaboration of maps and reports with important information about potential focus is also featured, culminating in greater agility and precision to the endemic identification process.
