A GPS Based Dengue Risk Index to Predict the Susceptibility of an Individual

Abstract

Dengue is the most important disastrous disease by which many number of people are affected. The incidence of dengue is associated particularly with the spread of the vector Aedes Aegypti and some of the environmental variables such as the trade, travel, climate change, inadequate water supplies, warming temperature etc. Therefore a mobile app that gives the reliable real time information stating when and where to expect the outbreak of dengue is essential which would use the GPS receiver embedded in the mobile phone and this also gives the dengue risk index in and around the exact location or at the remote location and the spread of the disease in the near future can also be estimated.
