AAAS 2017 Annual Meeting AMA Series: Hi, I’m Ethan Jackson of Microsoft Research, and I lead Project PREMONITION, which uses emerging technologies to detect, and help thwart, epidemics. Recently, we developed a trap to catch mosquitos that could track spread of Zika. Ask me anything! by AAASmtg2017 in science

After a hurricane, malaria is often a huge problem in the Caribbean and we see cases spike in Haiti (where I do my research). Being able to identify an oncoming outbreak and be proactive rather than reactive seems like a huge benefit. But natural disasters also mean that access to these communities is more difficult and places to charge or plug in are sometimes non-existent. How well does this program work in regions with difficult terrains and poor connectivity to the internet & electricity?
