AeTrapp
The AeTrapp project was developed during the Google Social Challenge to counter the spread of Dengue and Zika viruses during 2016. It consists of a mobile application and a web portal that allow citizens and neighbors of any community to carry out monitoring of the nests of Aedes mosquitoes, responsible for the transmission of the Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. The task of recognizing Aedes mosquito egg nests and counting them to keep infection sources under control, traditionally carried out by experts and technicians, can thus be trusted to the communities themselves. The goal is to bring control to rural regions that public health agents and the international community do not always reach. Citizens can send reports with photos or videos and the data is automatically uploaded with georeferencing to a map that is updated in real time. They can also indicate if there is a sample taken, if the nests are inactive or if the number of eggs is above or below average.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
