AI applications for dengue fever prevention

Overview

Efforts to combat dengue fever have increasingly integrated artificial intelligence and digital tools to improve public health outcomes.

In Cambodia, an educator in Siem Reap developed an AI-driven educational initiative titled ‘Elowan’s Adventures in Cambodia.’ This project uses generative AI to create 3D animations and educational kits designed to teach children about mosquito life cycles and hygiene practices to prevent the virus.

In Peru and the United States, technological applications have shifted toward surveillance and habitat detection. In Peru, the ‘Sivapre’ platform utilizes machine learning and georeferenced citizen data to generate heat maps of high-risk mosquito breeding zones. Meanwhile, in the Tampa Bay area of the United States, researchers are using AI algorithms and satellite imagery to identify specific water deposits that serve as mosquito habitats, allowing for targeted intervention instead of broad insecticide spraying.
