Mo-Buzz Dengue: Empowering Communities to Combat Dengue

Dengue, a mosquito-borne infectious disease, impacts millions of lives globally, particularly in Asia. Traditional dengue prevention strategies have been largely reactive and rely on outdated communication methods. Recognizing the potential of modern technology, we introduce Mo-Buzz Dengue, an innovative application that harnesses the power of mobile phones and the internet to help individuals and public health authorities effectively combat dengue.

How Mo-Buzz Dengue Works

Mo-Buzz Dengue is a comprehensive mobile phone and web-based platform that integrates advanced geospatial mapping, crowdsourcing, and health education into a user-friendly interface. By leveraging these technologies, the app aims to provide real-time information and actionable insights to help users protect themselves from dengue.

Key Features:

1. Hotspot Maps: Utilize interactive hotspot maps to stay informed about high-risk areas within your city. This feature allows you to take proactive measures to avoid mosquito exposure, whether you live in or plan to visit these locations.

2. Crowdsourced Reporting: Report dengue breeding sites directly to the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) through a simple form within the app. These reports are automatically geo-tagged, enabling the CMC to monitor dengue spread in real-time and respond swiftly to mitigate outbreaks.

3. Health Education Module: Enhance your knowledge about dengue through our engaging, graphics-based educational content. Learn about transmission mechanisms, infection rates, and effective prevention strategies to safeguard yourself and your community.
