THE MOBILE APP THAT DETECTS EBOLA PRESENCE IN AN AREA AND HELPS PREVENTS EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE
The visit of
Patrick Sawyer to Nigeria and the consequent spread of the deadly Ebola virus
that has been ravaging the country, has challenged a lot of assumptions about
the state of the nation’s ability to respond to natural emergencies. One of the
more significant revelations is the appalling level of ignorance in the
country.
Patrick Sawyer to Nigeria and the consequent spread of the deadly Ebola virus
that has been ravaging the country, has challenged a lot of assumptions about
the state of the nation’s ability to respond to natural emergencies. One of the
more significant revelations is the appalling level of ignorance in the
country.
Recently, there was
a nationwide apprehension-driven misinformation in Nigeria that led to the
death of many people and put more than twenty in the hospital for complications
due to excessive consumption of salt. the Ebola salt-cure rumor apparently
started as a regular prank on social media, but unfortunately it got wider
circulation both online and offline due to the high level of anxiety and hope
prevalent in Nigeria, that a cure be found soon. Also some cases of youth
dismissing the existence of Ebola Virus Disease in Liberia.

However,
fundamentally, the root cause of the overwhelming rate of the circulation of
the rumor was the absence of readily available and relevant information on the
Ebola virus and disease, that could be used as verification for whatever new
information is released into the public domain.

In response to the
salt-cure rumor in Nigeria, the ignorance in some other parts of West Africa
that is affected by this deadly disease, and as a preventive measure against
any re-occurrence of any such rumor circulation, Innovative Technologies for
Development Foundation (IT4D) a Nigerian Based Not for Profit organisation has
designed an application that can detect the presence of Ebola Virus Disease in
any location and help you prevent the disease even while you are in that area.
In addition to detecting if an area is affected by Ebola virus disease, it also
delivers relevant information and updates concerning the Ebola virus and
disease regularly to the users’ mobile phone.

The effort in
developing the app is coordinated by Akinmade Akintoye, CTO of CloudWare
Technologies the company behind the development of the Technology behind the
Ebola detection and prevention initiative, and a team of volunteers from all
over the world. The development team is working in conjunction with
International medical experts, medical practitioners, technology experts and
researchers. The team is also poised to providing the app users with
continually updated knowledge on the medical advancements in the development of
the cure to the disease. The app provides qualitative and quantitative
information on the governmental involvements in combating the disease.
