Disease Surveillance & Community Health Monitoring
ScanCare's surveillance system provides real-time epidemiological insights, enabling rapid detection of disease outbreaks and targeted health interventions before community impact escalates.
How Surveillance Works
Every patient consultation, diagnosis, and symptom report feeds into our aggregated epidemiological database, creating a comprehensive view of community health patterns.
Data Collection
Every diagnosis, symptom, and vital sign feeds into the surveillance state. This dashboard only shows verified BHW-managed data once it has been published.
Alert Broadcasting
When a BHW publishes case updates, residents instantly see the most recent threat levels and community health metrics in the surveillance panel.
BHW Data Analytics Manager
Use this portal to publish verified disease metrics and keep resident analytics accurate.
This portal is reserved for Barangay Health Workers. When a BHW publishes metric updates, the resident surveillance widget will display verified, real-world community analytics instead of placeholder data.
Resident Surveillance Widget
Live metrics reflect the latest BHW-published community health data. Unpublished metrics fallback safely to zero.

Rabies Exposure
Animal bite injury tracking
Monitoring dog/animal bites and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) vaccination completion rates. Emergency protocol activation for suspect cases.
Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI)
Seasonal cough, cold, pneumonia
Peaks in dry season (Nov-Feb). System flags pneumonia risk in pediatric and elderly populations with fast-track referral protocols.
Childhood Malnutrition
Nutritional status monitoring (U5)

SMS & Alert Broadcasting System
When a potential outbreak is detected, ScanCare automatically broadcasts alerts to residents and officials without requiring mobile internet, ensuring universal reach.
