CHEWS

A mobile application for electronic health record system for local government health centers, that will be for tracking trending health problems and can produce heat maps, reports and graphs.

Health officials may be able to use knowledge of these trends as an early indicator of emerging health issues and a warning of public health emergencies in a community.

With early identification, health officials can respond quickly, including advising people how to protect their health and minimize the spread of the disease.

Minimizing the spread of disease could help the community bounce back quickly from an outbreak or a public health emergency – or potentially prevent a public health emergency, such as a outbreak, from occurring.
