Dear Friends -
MIT Technology Review has an published article on our smart-phone based
early epidemic detection system used to coordinate the Dengue
prevention efforts by government of Punjab this year. Our system used
hundreds of android phones, logged 38,867 prevention activities by
several government of punjab departments (notably Department of Health
and City district government) over a period of 5 months, accurately
tracked both Aedes larvea clusters and confirmed patients and generated early warnings on
outbreaks:

We are also making (most of) our data and prediction system public:

This may be a little slow given the amount of data it has to fetch and
the load on our servers after making the system public. The tab "early
epidemic detection system" will take you to our statistical prediction
system, dragging the slider at the bottom will show you early warnings
generated by our system (Sept-Oct'12).
Regards,
