The inability to apply updated regional data on infectious diseases to patient care is a large obstacle for healthcare providers. This proposal aims to help solve that, by creating a smartphone application that integrates collected data from numerous sources – hospitals, central labs, individual providers – and generates real-time updates on the incidence of specific diseases by geographic region. It can therefore be an effective tool for disease surveillance, policymaking, and patient care.
