GSCE senior scientists Mike Wimberly, Geoff Henebry, and Gabriel Senay, along with collaborators from other SDSU departments and public health organizations in Ethiopia, held the EPIDEMIA co-design workshop at GSCE from July 7-11 2014. The purpose of this workshop was to create an initial software design for the EPIDEMIA computer system as part of a research project supported by the National Institutes of Health. The system will integrate environmental monitoring data from earth observing satellites with epidemiological surveillance data to provide a malaria early warning system for the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. The workshop included training sessions on satellite remote sensing, ecological forecasting, and malaria epidemiology as well as a software requirements analysis facilitated by Dr. Yi Liu from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Outcomes of the workshop included a prioritized list of software requirements and a software development plan that will guide the EPIDEMIA project over the next year.
