Neighborhood without Dengue App
The Neighborhood without Dengue app is a tool with a georeference system that allows citizens to mark a map and report to the authorities the alerts they detect about potential outbreaks of dengue infection. It allows reporting both from a computer or a mobile device; it also includes the description of the problem and photographs. After the cases are registered, they are analyzed by specialists, who check that the report is real. Then, the heads of the health area assume strategies and measures to solve the problems raised. This initiative is aimed at the early detection of sites that could be epidemic outbreaks from the reproduction of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which causes diseases such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
