How does the project work?
GeoVin is a free mobile application that helps guide citizen scientists in identifying possible vinchucas that they find that may pose an epidemiological risk. Based on the data that is recorded from locations of the different species of vinchucas, collaborative maps of the findings of all users are generated.
The information entry process is carried out by taking photographs and reporting the location of the found insect using the location services of the mobile device. The data is centralized directly to a server, and data validation is performed remotely by triatomine specialists using the photos sent.
