The SISS-Geo, developed by FIOCRUZ, is created by the Institutional Platform on Biodiversity and Wildlife Health with support from the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing.
It is free and available for smartphones and the web. The tool enables the monitoring of wildlife health in natural, rural, and urban areas.
The system supports the investigation of disease-causing agents, such as infectious agents that can affect both humans and animals.
As a citizen science tool, it allows ordinary citizens, health and environmental professionals, researchers, and specialists to contribute with records, promoting actions for the prevention and control of zoonoses and the conservation of Brazilian biodiversity.
Alerts of abnormalities in wild animals are generated automatically and distributed, in real time, to the authorities responsible for investigation and actions for the prevention and control of zoonoses, especially those with potential human impact.
With everyone's participation, photos and georeferenced data are made available in open access. Experts validate the records and report the identified species. Data of interest are available to health services, environmental agencies, and research institutions.
Quickly and efficiently, the flow of information among society, health professionals, environment and related areas, decision-makers, and researchers enables planning, identifying, and acting in priority areas with necessary and integrated actions.
Ecological opportunity prediction models for the emergence of zoonoses are generated based on data, supporting strategies and public policies for the prevention and control of zoonoses and the management of species and conservation units.
