Health Alert app for iPhone and iPad

HealthAlert® is developed for surveillance of notifiable diseases. The application is designed for healthcare providers – doctors, nurses and allied health professionals – from public and private health facilities as well as patients, their families and communities for generating an alert on notifiable diseases.

HealthAlert® turns fragmented reporting into comprehensive surveillance of outbreaks and epidemic-prone diseases. Resultantly, the application strengthens the surveillance systems, particularly in low-resource and developing countries to React, Report and Respond to public health hazards through:

• Alert generation – secure data transmission in a timely manner
• Technical guidelines – easy access to standardized medical protocols
• Real-time notification – quick flow of information collection, synthesis and analysis for rapid response

Download for free and use HealthAlert® to play your part in protecting yourself, your families and community from disease outbreaks, epidemics and health hazards. Keep yourself up-to-date on seasonal alerts and precautions recommended by experts.
