Epidemic Tracker

Tracks government and humanitarian reports of key infectious disease outbreaks.

Note: this is an updated version of an existing app by the same developer, modified to fix app-breaking bugs that occur with new android updates.

Epidemic Tracker helps users follow reports of major infectious disease outbreaks. Utilizing the Reliefweb API, ET helps connect users to reports published by government and humanitarian organizations in the past 72 hours. It identifies reports of major outbreaks, while filtering out dated material and low-threat outbreaks.

Current diseases being tracked:

Cholera

Dengue

Ebola

Polio

Malaria

Measles

MERS-CoV

Zika

You can click on a result to see more disease-specific information, and for access to the publication by the reporting organization.

This app is in continuing development. Additional features from the test version will be added soon.

Newest updates:

-Improved user interface

-Added data dictionary with information on tracked diseases

-Fixes to web scraping functions
