Dengaide

Fornire una rapida diagnosi e linee guida per il trattamento agli operatori sanitari.

Dengue fever is one of the leading causes for mortality and morbidity worldwide. This rapidly spreading disease has become a threat to almost half the world’s population.

Intravenous fluid therapy is lifesaving in dengue shock syndrome.

Due to the ‘narrow therapeutic index’, appropriate fluids have to be given to prevent mortality.

This dynamic fluid management is a challenge for many physicians, especially in resource-limited settings.

Lack of triage with pitfalls in dengue case management increases mortality and morbidity.

In developing countries, Most of the high-level care available in a few large metropolitan hospitals; conversely, in the majority of remote and underdeveloped areas are under equipped to meet the needs.

There is an urgent need to develop new innovative methods to ensure that quality healthcare reaches the rural population.

We believe that we have a solution to this problem Introducing Dengaide, an innovative mhealth tool, born out of an amalgamation of technology and medicine, and is created based on artificial intelligence programme incorporating heuristic knowledge from dengue experts.

This user-friendly app’s key applications are

Diagnostic and management support for providing quick diagnosis and treatment guidelines to peripheral healthcare workers. With Dengaide tool, dengue cases are managed at primary care level and referred appropriately as needed.

The app provides reassessment care on subsequent visits, taking into consideration of labs values, vitals, and warning signs to categorize the patient into mild, moderate or severe dengue and provides the best plan of action for the same.

Vector surveillance and epidemic tracking application covers multiple activities range from source reduction, case tracking, larval surveys, Pupae surveys and Adult mosquito surveys. Geo-tagged photographs can be streamed and plotted on Google maps in real time as it captures latitude and longitude.

Communication and capacity building of healthcare workers

An acute shortage of healthcare workers is a major challenge faced by healthcare systems in many developing countries. Connecting health workers with sources of information via e-learning is crucial for increasing empowerment and improving competence levels case management.

Remote monitoring and online data collection is another fundamental component of public health programmes. Policymakers at various levels, such as national, state, district, and community levels, need complete data in order to measure the effectiveness of existing policies and programmes .
