The Mekong Basin Disease Surveillance (MBDS) consortium is a

self-organized sub-regional cooperation spearheaded by health

ministries from member countries to collaborate on infectious

disease surveillance and control. The cooperation focuses on cross-

border cooperation at selected sites and has matured through several

phases of work;

In 2001, MBDS partners commenced their formal cooperation

by focusing on building basic epidemiology capacity at national

and local levels.

In 2003, the first four MBDS cross-border sites were established

with initial activities focusing on exchange of surveillance

information on both sides of the border at each site – for agreed

upon diseases and reporting frequencies.

In 2006, MBDS expanded its efforts beyond surveillance and

undertook a series of provincial, national and regional tabletop

exercises related to pandemic influenza preparedness.

In 2008, MBDS developed a new 6-year action plan focusing on

seven inter-related core strategies which are;

1) Cross-Border Cooperation 5) Laboratory Capacity

2) Animal – Human interface 6) Risk Com Capacity

3) Epidemiology Capacity 7) Policy Research

4) ICT Capacity

MBDS Objective:

Strengthen national and Mekong sub-regional capabilities in disease

surveillance and response to outbreaks of priority diseases, in order

that they can be effectively controlled.

MBDS Program Areas:

Strengthen sustainable national capacity in disease

surveillance, outbreak investigation and responses;

Strengthen health manpower development in field

epidemiology;

Establishment of a sub-regional surveillance network.

MBDS Core Strategies



MBDS Technology Priorities

• MBDS technology priorities include:

– Tools to facilitate COLLABORATION across

borders and between partners;

– Tools to allow for RAPID reporting and

communication from remote areas with limited

internet access;

– Tools to enable VISUALIZATION of complex data.

GeoChat: SMS-based real time surveillance reporting system

• GeoChat: an InSTEDD developed a free flexible open-

source group communications tool

• Updates information over SMS, over email, and on the

surface of a map in a web browser

• Links headquarters to staff in the field, and field staff to each

other and, or headquarters

• Instantly adds anyone to the group

• Keeps everyone on the team connected, in sync and aware

Features Of GeoChat

• Create, join and participate in chat groups by SMS, email, or

web browser.

• Add your location in many different location formats,

geochat will translate this location into a position in the map.

• Create your own “local gateway” mini-client that allows you

to plug a local cell phone into your laptop, connect to the

Internet, and allow users to send and receive text messages

through the service via the local cell network.

• See, at a glance in the Map, who said what, when, and

where.

• Verify, refute, or update information live from the field using

your mobile phone.

• Share the benefits of their geospatial “big picture” view (if

you are a highly-connected user) and push out relevant

RSS/ATOM feeds to a barely connected users via SMS.

• Ensure that your teammates know where you are and what

you are doing.

• Visualize your remote team on the surface of a map and

interact with them.

• Use it on any PC, Mac, or Linux PC capable of running

Mozilla Firefox

• Use it from any cell phone capable of sending and receiving

SMS messages.

Signup From Mobile Phone

Geochat via SMS works with several phone numbers. Check the

following list and find the number that corresponds to your country

and mobile company.

If you can't find your mobile company you can send ”.ping” to the

numbers of other companies in your country and check which

number answers back with a message. That number works for your

company.

Start

1) Add the corresponding GeoChat number to your mobile phone

address book.

2) If you already know the name of a group you want to join, send a

message with your display name and the group name, separated by

“join”.

Example: “paul zula join foi”.

This message will allow you to sign up (register your user) in

Geochat and join a group at the same time.



3) You will receive a message letting you know that you have

successfully created an account and joined a group.

GeoChat will also send you a message with a password that you can

use to log in at the website, please keep it.

4) If you do not know which group you want to join or you want to

create your own group, register via SMS by sending a message with

the word “name” and your name to the GeoChat number.

Example: “name John Doe”. That will be your Display Name, the

name that other users will see when receiving messages from you.

5) You will receive a message letting you know that you have

successfully created an account.

Geochat will also send you a message with a password that you can

use to log in at the website, please keep it.

6) You can now send “at TOWN NAME” to tell GeoChat where

you are. You need to replace “TOWN NAME” with the name of the

place you are.

Example: “at phnom penh”, “at Bangkok group or create a group”

7) You can now change your password, change your display name,

join a group or create a group.

Change your display name via sms

To change your Display Name send “.my name DISPLAY

NAME” replacing “DISPLAY NAME” with your name.

Example: “.my name dr. John”



Change your password via SMS

To change your password from your mobile phone, send “.my

password NEW PASSWORD” replacing “NEW PASSWORD”

with your password.

Example: “.my password Apple123”.

Join / Leave a group via SMS

To join a group via SMS send “join GROUP_ALIAS” replacing

“GROUP_ALIAS” with the alias of the group.

Example: “join FOI”.

If the group does not require authorization you will be joined

instantly. If the group requires authorization you will need to wait

for the administrator of the group to approve your request to join.

If you are member of a group and you want to Leave that group,

send “leave GROUP_ALIAS” replacing “GROUP_ALIAS” with

the alias of the group you want to leave.

Example: “leave FOI”.

Send a Message via SMS

To send a message you just need to write the message and send it to

the phone number you are using in GeoChat.

Send a direct message

Normal messages in GeoChat go to every user in the group, but you

can also send a message only to one user. These messages are called

“Direct Messages”. A direct message also belongs to a group, and

can be seen by everyone in the group, sent as a message through

SMS, mail or twitter.

Direct messages can be sent by specifying the username, email or

phone prefixed with “@” at the beginning of the message.

Example: @jiddu hello world

@123456789 hello world

@[email protected] hello world

The group in which you want to send that message can be specified

after or before the user, also with “@”:

@india @jiddu hello world

@jiddu @india hello world

If no group is specified, the message will be delivered to your

default group.

If more than a single user is specified, only the first one is taken into

account:

@jiddu @charles hello jiddu and charles!

This will only be sent to jiddu, but anyone, including charles if he

belongs to the sender's default group, will be able to see it.

http://geochathelp.com/doku.php?id=reference:leave



Report your current location

You can report the location by simply send MSG to GeoChat as

follows:

At Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Phnom Penh, Cambodia*Hello everyone

You can also use the “L:” or “l:” microformat

L:Phnom Penh, Cambodia

You can embed location using a backslash. For multi-word location

names you need to open and close the location in slashes

Example: Just arrived to the office in /Chicago

The weather in /Phnom Penh/ got very bad just as we

arrived

Using decimal latitude and longitudes:

If you would like to use decimal latitude and longitude to report

your current location, you can send lat*long*message

Example: 12.4343*121.3333*Hello everyone

You can specify hemispheres with N/S E/W or using minus signs:

12.4343S*121.3333W*Hello everyone

Create a group via SMS

1. To create a new group via SMS you first need to have a

GeoChat account. If you don't have one, you can signup

from your phone or at the website.

2. Once you have an account, send “create GROUP ALIAS”

replacing “GROUP ALIAS” with the alias of the new

group.

Example: “create womenforafrica”.

3. You can also specify that you want your group to be public

or that you don't want your group to be a Chatroom.

4. To create a public group send “create GROUP ALIAS

nohide”.

5. To create a non-chatroom group, send “create GROUP

ALIAS nochat”.

To do both send “create GROUP ALIAS nochat nohide”.

Invite someone to a group

To invite someone to a group you can send “invite

GROUP_ALIAS USER” replacing GROUP_ALIAS with the alias

of the group and USER with either the Username, Display Name, an

email or a phone number.

Examples: invite Women4Africa johndoe

invite Women4Africa Dr. John

invite Women4Africa [email protected]

invite Women4Africa +5412398734

Set someone as an owner of a group

To set someone as a group owner you can send “owner

GROUP_ALIAS USERNAME” replacing GROUP_ALIAS with

the alias of a group and USERNAME with the name of a member

of that group.

rates raise concerns

Cambodia: CDC used GeoChat for alerting related to H1N1,

H5N1 and for rapid communication (2009)

GeoChat Pilot in Mukdahan

Disease Reporting from Sub-district to District to

Province



Before GeoChat

• Reported ILI, H1N1 using phone calls, emails from subdistrict

to district to province.

• Time consuming

• Not regular internet access to send emails

• Mukdahan PHD had to make individual phone calls to remind

• Timeliness, completeness inconsistent

After GeoChat

• Shared visibility in real time, accurate reporting

• PHD can send one SMS reminder to send in reports

• Sub-district sends number of ILI cases not just to District,

but to all Subdistrict Team members

• Shared visibility of possible outbreaks in real time

• District aggregates sub-district ILI cases and sends total to

Provincial GeoChat Group

Thai BOE ILI Hospital Surveillance:

Using GeoChat for SMS Reminders & Alerting



GeoChat Strengthening H5N1, H1N1 Surveillance

Thailand: Real Time ILI Feedback

500 Hospital staff are getting immediate feedback over SMS

If ILI rates are abnormally high in their area.

Mukdahan: Much faster ILI, H1N1 Reporting

AI & ILI Reports are sent 24 hours sooner than before GeoChat

(est)

GeoChat is being used weekly to report ILI cases (as well as

potential H1N1, H5N1 cases) by 118 staff.

We know 1 leptospirosis outbreak was contained 1-2 days

sooner because of Geochat – horizontal communication

alerted neighboring districts immediately.

Cambodia: Greater Awareness of H5N1, H1N1 Status

Entire CDC, covering 24 provincies from remote health centers

to national level, including officials at all borders, were more

informed about status of H5N1 because of GeoChat alerts. 73

provincial, 25 national staff.

90% of respondents on an evaluation said GeoChat was

useful in keeping them informed about swine flu during

the outbreak.

BOE Hospital-Based ILI Reporting System

Future Plans for GeoChat in MBDS

Further Pilots & National Scale-Up

Regional Surveillance

Implement regional GeoChat system for regional disease

reporting.

MBDS XB Sites/Provincial
