Early warning for epidemics

Awesome Image
The competition aims to develop a prototype for early warning, scalable, reliable and cost-effective, using spatial data to predict and monitor vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, ebola, zika, yellow fever, typhoid, etc. The prototype should include climate data and weather data, vector modeling, geo-spatial location information on outbreaks and vector-borne disease behavior. Data must be interoperable with public health data and other socio-economic data. The prototype must be demonstrated locally, taking into account any social factor relevant to the chosen geographical area.
The deadline for registration is May 31, 2020 and for submission of project proposals is September 1, 2020 .
