EpiMetrics
EpiMetrics is real-time epidemic disease outbreak surveillance and prediction system.
Today it generally takes around 5-6 days to get the whole picture of fast spreading diseases. After 5/6 days, if disease is spread enough, an advisory is been issued to caution all people. EpiMetrics drastically reduces this time to just few minutes. It works on principle of early discovery, early prevention. EpiMetrics was specifically designed to accept data from temporary hospitals in Kumbh mela area. This year(2015) it is going to be held at Nashik, India. Where we are expecting around 20-25 Million people over 40 days. In the backend, all this data is uploaded to the cloud enabled database in real time. A health dashboard, which is accessible to health authorities and other staff personnel, shows the symptoms data directly on the map and some additional analytics parameters are also been displayed. Using the dashboard health authorities can see exactly from which area which kind of symptoms are emerging in real time.
