Generation of infectious disease alerts through the use of geolocation

Abstract

In recent years, there have been several cases of global epidemics such as influenza B or Ebola. In these cases, several factors are key to limit the effects of the epidemic and avoid contagion. Between of them is the speed of knowing which persons are infected, which persons has been in contact with any infected person or know what the focus of the epidemic. In general, obtaining this information requires a process of research among the first affected that can be slow and complicated. This article describes a tool that aims to generate alerts when there are data about an epidemic, and notify all persons who could be exposed to contagion and prevent new infections occurs.

Web and IoT-based hospital location determination with criteria weight analysis

“…Various web application development languages were employed to meet a variety of needs for the planned apps, resulting in a fully integrated system that allows users to benefit from it [32], [33]. The following is a summary of the overall goal of the proposed application: i) define and manage all information about number and values of criteria and alternatives by the system administrator; ii) create database for point 1 in MySQL database; iii) display the weight of the criteria; iv) display rank the alternatives; v) compute the distance between any two points on the map.…”
