Abstract

Infections of the past thirty years have started in one place and in one family. They are often highly contagious before the onset of symptoms, and difficult to stop spreading. Emerging infections are spread due to interlocking medicalepidemiological and political reason. The governments have no strategies in place to prevent pandemics but expect patients to use common sense on their own behalf and manage them at home. Until now, no one has come forward to help us develop strategies to educate people how to identify and prevent the spread of infection to their families and communities. Nobody plans for an actual crisis partly because it is too scary and hence paralyzing to think about. Most health professionals say they are not trained, paid and assume its someone else�?¢�?�?�?�?s job, except that it has turned out to be nobody�?¢�?�?�?�?s job. This situation is not static. While we sit paralyzed, superbugs are evolving and emerging infections are spreading, all over the world before we even know it exists. Scientists are making rapid progress to but even a much more rapid response must still rely on patients coming forward to say they have a symptom. We know patients with serious symptoms often avoid seeking help from doctors because they do not want their fears confirmed. We can conquer this problem, using a simple tool that does not require the top-to-bottom reform of public health infrastructures. Our innovation �?¢�?�?�?�?Dr MAYA�?¢�?�?�?, a mobile phone application monitoring system will identify clusters of infections and help prevent spreading emerging infections. Out tool is a boon for healthcare professionals, because this will not reduce epidemics but also protect them. Doctors can offer the best healthcare 24/7, 365 days and spend more time at home with family and friends. So how does it work in practice?
