<p class="bodytext">Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday launched the dengue surveillance dashboard developed by the AI and Robotics Technology Park (ARTPARK) at the Indian Institute of Science.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The dashboard will provide a four-week predictive risk map of outbreaks to state- and district-level officials so that they can be prepared for outbreaks and conduct disease-control activities.</p>.<p class="bodytext">It will also provide maps of current outbreaks at the district- and sub-district levels, along with case trends over the years, for better monitoring and for making data-driven decisions. Based on this data, local health officials will be able to undertake real-time disease monitoring at the ward or village levels, and plan actions like testing and surveys.</p>.Bengaluru dengue cases jump to over 2,370 in a month.<p class="bodytext">ARTPARK is standardising data from multiple sources for improved analysis, Rao said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Additionally, ARTPARK has developed a mobile app that Asha workers can use to capture real-time data from fever and larval surveys. Spraymen can use the app for source-reduction activities, and healthcare workers for training and awareness. Health officers will be able to verify and review these activities on the app as well.</p>.<p class="bodytext">While the dashboard and app are currently for dengue surveillance, it will be expanded to cover other diseases over time.</p>
