In response to the
Ebola Scourge Innovative Technologies for Development Foundation (IT4D) and
Jamboree Consultancy has designed an application that can detect the presence
of Ebola Virus Disease in an area 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.
You can download the apps by visiting Android play store or by visiting www.stopebolaspread.info. You can
call Afolabi on 076412139 or 078 510579 for more information.
The effort in
developing the app is coordinated by Programs manager of IT4D Michael Afolabi
Oluwole, Akinmade Akintoye, Jamboree Consult CEO, Murtala Mohamed Kamara 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.
The
EbolaPrevention Mobile Application is at the moment available for Free
on the Android Play store, and also as an SMS-based application available on
CloudSMS Appstore. Blackberry, J2me and
IOS versions are currently being developed. When users of the App are in
proximity to affected regions, the app can inform you of which areas are
affected and provide you with preventive measures to ensure they do not get
infected during your stay in the affected area.
The Ebola prevention
app can be customize for specific agencies that are working in the fight to
stop the Ebola disease in Sierra Leone and beyond.
Jamboree Consult CEO
said: “In the fight against Ebola, every tool is important. Technology has
revolutionized our world and help us solve problems” He therefore called on
Government, International partners and civil society groups to take advantage
of this app to save lives. He said he hope the app will make a huge difference
in the Ebola fight.
This Ebola-prevention
initiative is Innovative Technologies for development Foundation’s (IT4D) and
Jamboree Consult contribution towards the prevention and containment of contagious
diseases in the African region and the world at large. For more information
