Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To develop a mobile terminal data acquisition for data collection of malaria prevention and control in the field. METHODS: Based on 3G, Bluetooth, GPS and/or Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and wireless network communication technology (WIFI), a mobile terminal data acquisition for data collection of malaria prevention and control was developed. RESULTS: The developed system included 2 functional modules：a terminal and iCloud, and had examination, modification and deletion functions of malaria epidemiological data. By using GPS and GIS, the target population or institution could be accurately positioned to determine whether the distribution of malaria cases had a spatial aggregation. CONCLUSIONS: A mobile terminal data acquisition in malaria prevention and control is successfully developed, which is very convenient for data collection and submission of malaria prevention and control.
