All,
I'm working with a faculty member studying the efficacy of mobile app based
interventions, who needs detailed street and building footprints for his pilot.
He is working in the Kendua sub-district of Bangladesh, initially, and needs
data for health workers to use to identify cholera patients homes/home village,
pharmacies, etc... I've pasted his abstract, below. If he finds efficacy, he
will likely expand the project to other sub-districts. We are wondering several
things:
First, what is the process to have a project added to the Task Manager?
Second, do you happen to currently have mappers in this area who could work on
this?
Finally, we may be able to obtain gps traces from food delivery drivers to
upload to OSM. It would be great to have a training for them if there are
mappers in the area, or in Dhaka who would be willing to travel. Wondering who
to contact about the possibility of that (I know bulk uploads are frowned upon
unless coordinated with OSM).
Thanks in advance for your time, I've pasted the abstract for the project,
below my signature.

I have a map of the United States... actual size.
It says, Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.
I spent last summer folding it.

Leveraging mobile technology to improve clinical outcomes and scientific
research of the second leading cause of childhood death: diarrheal disease
Abstract
Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under 5
years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the diarrheal disease
cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has on at-risk
populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile technology to
overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific challenges.
Despite effective treatments and advances in provider education, cholera case
fatality rates remain unacceptably high. Conventional methods have been unable
to overcome barriers to provide patients timely access to care in resource-poor
settings. This is especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are
slow to mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20
hours. Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop
a new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early,
improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The specific
aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for clinical decision
support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the mobile-technology and
determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the hospital level,
and (iii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to
disease progression at the community level. We chose to develop and test this
strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bangladesh at a site
with high cholera morbidity and relatively high mortality. We anticipate this
NIH funded research will provide an exciting cross-departmental forum for
collaboration and training, as well as a pathway to discovery that will
directly benefit populations inflicted with diseases like cholera.
