GPS COVID‑19 Tracker ‑ Applied Informatics Technology for Prevention of Disease Spreading

Applied Health Informatics to support for outbreak management is very interesting. Reeves et al. concluded that using electronic computational tool is “an essential tool in supporting the clinical needs of a health system managing the COVID‑19 pandemic.[1]” It is no doubt that the informatics tool is very important for crisis management. Here, the authors would like to introduce new freely app for tracking of disease that was firstly developed in Thailand. The online version is accessible at https:// covidtracker. 5lab.co/. This bioinformatics app present updates GPS data on infected case, suspicious case, death case and confirmed negative case in Thailand [Figure 1]. Also, the dirty contaminated place as well as disinfected place is also presented. The data are displayed in three languages: Mandarin, Thai and English. This tool is a good example of applied informatics technology to fight disease outbreak. It can be a model for further development in any settings. It can support the primary prevention concept and take oneself away from the risk area.
