TELE-EPIDEMIOLOGY
In the field of epidemiological monitoring, matching up remotely sensed environmental data and sanitary data collected at ground has allowed to design prediction models for epidemic risk. Using satellite images is actually a genuine technological progress to fight against malaria, Rift Valley fever, yellow fever, dengue fever… in developing countries.
As part of several consortiums, MEDES implements epidemiological monitoring networks in Senegal, South America, Burkina, Niger and French Guiana, in order to hold back such scourges that claim millions of victims every year around the world.
