Solar Scare Mosquito
A platform to predicet epidemics
An IoT platform to monitor and control mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue and Zika virus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has burdened health systems and exacerbated other challenges such as malaria. Moreover, climate change is expected to spread these diseases into Northern Europe and America in coming years. It is more urgent than ever to leverage new technologies to better monitor and prevent mosquito-borne epidemics.
The platform can eliminate mosquito-larvae in stagnant water tanks, ponds and rainwater puddles. It captures real-time data on the presence of dangerous mosquito species in a neighbourhood. It also alerts health officials, local residents and travellers of possible disease outbreaks.
