MUS-COMM

We are team SEDS-OAU we chose the health makes wealth challenge, thus we developed Mus-comm. Mus-comm is a balloon satellite tethered to the earth 600m above the ground that collects data from the environment such as; temperature, humidity,CO2 concentration, Ozone concentration, and air quality of an area.

Our aim is to collect real time data from the satellite to help us give map and predict areas where disease vectors breed and will most likely invade, thus predicting time and geographic location where a certain disease will break out.

Mus-Comm is a sub-$100 solution, easy to deploy with minimum expertise required, aimed to solve the impending problem on the spread of malaria and other vector borne diseases(VBD). Serving as a preventive measure, which helps, government, NGO's, Health workers, researchers, to pin-point areas which needs resources to prevent malaria and other diseases thus inhibiting the spread of such diseases.

We created a web platform that enables us to give information such as when, where, and reasons disease will break out.

We are harnessing the data collected from our balloon Sat, NASA Land data Assimilation systems, with Artificial intelligence integrated to create models that help us analyze and predict areas where disease will break out and at what time it will break out.
