MDengue App
The Dengue Application & Website – mDengue was
developed by SEACO, in collaboration with the Segamat
District Public Health Office. mDengue will help control
the dengue vector (Aedes mosquitoes) at the community
level. The mobile application aims to become a tool for
the community to take pictures, before and after taking
actions to eliminate potential and confirmed mosquito
breeding sites. This will enable the District Health Office to
monitor activities, as well as inform the community about
the necessary actions needed to control dengue
transmission in an effective way. The website will provide
District Health Officers a dynamic map where they can see
the locations of captured images of potential and
confirmed dengue breeding sites. It will also help identify
locations of reported dengue patients and Ovitraps
(mosquito trap) on the real time map display.
