Brasil.io collaborative open platform gathering daily, municipality level official data on Covid-19
A collaborative effort of over 40 volunteers have been scraping official reports from the state Health Secretariats in order to obtain daily, city-level data about Covid-19 in Brazil. The data is then made available as bulk CSV downloads, as a JSON API as well as a web form on the Brasil.io open data platform. This is the only open data source available for daily Covid-19 data in Brazil that has municipality level granularity.
We have developed a system which encompasses a WEB-based control panel and an App (for users/population) which can track the geographical distribution of outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics of contagious diseases and vaccination campaigns.
Our system (called SaudeCEM) is able to launch warnings and informative messages, at different competence levels and in multiple areas, transforming each smartphone into a portable siren and also acting as an informative platform for their user safety. SaudeCEM…
