Surveillance
• Surveillance as per WHO is the systematic process of
collection, transmission, analysis and feedback of
public health data for decision-making
Conventional Malaria Surveillance flow
Epidemiological Analysis takes 2-3 years
Data transfer takes 15 days to one month
Benefits
Mobile based
Vs
Conventional
Prevents delay in dissemination of data from field to
decision-makers
Early diagnosis reduces morbidity and mortality
Early detection of epidemic situation
Fast reporting, close to real time
Improves accuracy of decision making
Facilitates better treatment and care of patients
Flow of MoSQuIT system
Data Analysis
Statistical analysis based on Malaria indicators (Annual Blood
Examination Rate, Annual Parasite Incidence, Annual Falciparum
Incidence...)
Trend analysis based on Person, Place, Time
Outbreak analysis, Predictive analysis
Efficiency analysis to measure time-lag in various system
