Andhra Pradesh Starts Smart AI System to Stop Mosquitoes and Diseases
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu wants Andhra Pradesh to use new technology. Now, the government is starting a smart system to stop mosquitoes and diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
What Is SMoSS?
The new system is called SMoSS (Smart Mosquito Surveillance System).
It uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things) to find and stop mosquitoes.
It helps the government spray only where needed. This saves money, time, and chemicals.
Where Will It Start?
SMoSS will start in 66 places in 6 cities:
Visakhapatnam – 16 places
Vijayawada – 28 places
Rajamahendravaram – 5 places
Kakinada – 4 places
Nellore – 7 places
Kurnool – 6 places
How It Works
Smart sensors will check for mosquitoes
They will count how many are there and what type
They also check temperature and weather
If mosquito numbers are high, the system gives an alert
The data goes to a computer dashboard
Drones will spray medicine in those areas
People Can Help
People can tell about mosquito problems using phone apps:
Vector Control App
Puramitra App
Hospitals Will Help Too
Doctors and hospitals will send daily reports about:
Dengue
Malaria
Chikungunya
This will help the team find bad areas and do special spraying there.
Private Teams Will Work
Private companies will run the system.
They will get paid only if the work is done well.
A Big Step for Health
