1. Dengue- Vector Surveillance System

Challenges

The Municipal Administration conducts field surveys and inspections to detect the presence of potential

disease vectors due to improper storage, handling and disposal of plastic containers, improper waste

disposal and natural conditions. ULBs also conducts field surveys and inspections for symptoms of potential

vector diseases such as body pain, joint pain, rash, bleeding, dehydration, cough and dizziness. CMA Office

focuses its prevention efforts on controlling the source vectors and larvicides that may lead to control of

Dengue, Fever and Malaria. Multi-purpose health works carry out regular vector surveillance and source

reduction activities by visiting houses door-to-door across ULB and manually update field survey forms.

Manual data entry process meant multi-purpose health works were spending valuable time on repetitive

data entry tasks, for filing reports with Municipal Administration. Data entry errors coupled with delays in

dengue vector surveillance data reporting diminished the accuracy of the data collected from the field.

Solution Offered Extranet SharePoint portal was developed to allow municipal administration to schedule door-to-door

surveillance activities for multi-purpose health workers. This schedule will be automatically made available

for field visit via a tablet application.

A tablet application was developed for ease of multi-purpose health workers. Each field staff gets the

scheduled street and house – door number information upon Tablet App login. Field staff uses a touch

interface application for selecting the individual activity tiles related with vector surveillance and fever

symptoms data collection. On completion of field visit multi-purpose health workers can sync field data

automatically to the backend SharePoint Portal for Vector Surveillance Reporting to Municipal

Administration for executive decision making.

Business Impact The Vector Surveillance System helped to improve day-to-day field data capturing accuracy for Anti-Larval

and Source Reduction activities. Helped improve frequency of vector surveillance data reporting from ULBs

to CMA, for executive decision making. The application has the ability to scale to multi-dimensional vector

based disease analytics and reporting. The application helped in the transformation from paper trail to web

enabled mobile application for effective disease control activities.

Our Work A SharePoint portal was developed for ULB Administration to schedule dengue vector surveillance and

source reduction activities. A companion handheld tablet application was developed for multi-purpose

health workers to conduct door-to-door vector surveillance and source reduction activities.

Login Page

Login for Multi-purpose health workers, worker’s respective municipal ward schedule for dengue vector

surveillance and source reduction activities is downloaded for offline field access.

Ward / Street Selection

Scheduled municipal ward and streets for the field worker is shown in the tiles along with display of number

of streets and houses. Ward and Street priority is colored based on SharePoint Portal scheduling.


House Selection

On selecting a particular Street Tile, a slider opens with houses in that particular street. Data downloaded

from SharePoint Portal scheduling.

Access Screen

The field worker can capture whether the house was open or closed and if open, whether access was granted

or not. If the house is closed, the house will be rescheduled by the system. If access was granted, the field

worker can conduct dengue and fever surveillance activities.


Outdoor and Indoor Containers

The field worker can survey indoor and outdoor containers for larvae source reduction activities. If there is

positive signs of larvae, the user can click “+ve” option and the camera access opens, to take picture of the

positive larvae infected containers.

Fever Surveillance

Enables the field worker to do a fever surveillance with provisions to capture details of house inmates, who

have fever related symptoms by updating a touch interface based preset questions and answers.


Completing Fever Surveillance

Field worker can use the provision to add more inmates of the same household with fever symptoms

Ward Scheduling

Municipal Wards, Streets and Houses can be scheduled online to various multipurpose health workers to

conduct regular field surveillance activities. With ability to preselect priority field visits for particular Ward

and Street based on historical data.


Field Surveillance Report

SharePoint Portal has a dashboard with automatic summary of door-to-door surveillance data collected by

multi-purpose health workers for municipal administration.

Current enhancements include heap map generation from field data for vector surveillance mapping.
