Kerala cold-shouldered proposal for dengue early warning system

New Indian Express  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala’s failure to collaborate on a proposal submitted by climate scientists to develop a dengue early warning system has turned out to be a blessing for Pune. The state had turned its back on a study aimed at developing an early warning system to detect dengue, by incorporating potential climate-based dengue factors and health data available with the state governments at the regional level. The scientists developed an AI or ML model for dengue early warning system. According to Roxy, states like Kerala, Maharashtra, and West Bengal which have been reporting dengue fever could greatly benefit from an advanced warning system.
