Mobile Application to Diagnosing Mosquito-Borne Tropical Diseases

Abstract

Indonesia is situated between the Asian and Australian continents, as well as the Indian and Pacific Oceans, due to its geographical position. As a result, Indonesia is classified as a tropical climate area. As a result of this situation, Indonesia has two seasons: rainy and dry. The transition period is described as the time between the dry and rainy seasons, or vice versa. The combination of comparatively high rainfall and poor sanitation in areas of Indonesia has resulted in the spread of numerous diseases. Tropical infectious diseases are classified into three categories: bacterial infections, viral infections, and parasitic infections. The goal of an eradication program is to eliminate disease transmission centers from a certain area. Eradication plans are usually timed, with the aim of eradicating the disease in a short time. There are no other costs involved in eradicating the epidemic. However, there may be significant costs associated with screening campaigns for the prevention, identification, and successful response of future transmission of the disease to free areas. This thesis proposed developing a mobile application for tropical disease diagnosis and employing a certainty factor approach to reduce the burden of the monitoring program while allowing the general public to recognize the effects of tropical diseases.
