If you are looking at tracking transient or temporary data like location of suspected cases, you could try something like the fieldnotes demo that I hacked together: https://osmlab.github.io/fieldnotes/ <- Feel free to add a point The entire code is around 200 lines [1] and should be fairly easy to customize with a custom form for the data you want to collect. It works by saving data points as an overlay layer in a Mapbox dataset [2].
