Combating the spread of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes is a complicated and labor-intensive process in Panama. Approximately 500 Vector Technicians tirelessly go door-to-door to help protect the nearly 4 million vulnerable citizens from infectious diseases by identifying breeding sites for mosquitoes. Vector Technicians - about 1 technician for every 8000 people - use manual data gathering methods that slow their efforts. Local officials and researchers partnered with IBM employees to collaborate on a social impact project to digitize the vector technicians’ process so they could expedite their efforts and more effectively serve the public.
