Imagine your coding skills could save lives. In the mobile4D project, you will use innovative software to combat dengue fever, a threat classified as critical by the WHO, especially in Southeast Asia. You will not only demonstrate your technical skills, but also make a real contribution to global health. Are you ready to use a superpower for a good cause?
The project is carried out alternately as a Bachelor’s or Master’s project under
under the supervision of Dr. Thomas Barkowsky.

Whether you’re already an expert in your field or just starting to discover your skills, you’ll find a space to grow, learn and contribute in our projects. Everyone brings something valuable to the table. What will you contribute?
Whether you’re an ace at Python, a virtuoso at JavaScript or a beginner at Dart, your lines of code make a difference.
From intuitive UIs to appealing graphics, your creativity makes technology accessible and engaging.
Number crunchers and algorithm acrobats, your skills turn data into decisions.
Do you have a knack for organizing things and leading teams? Here you can show what efficient planning can achieve.
Whether you create content that inspires or build bridges between cultures, your words carry weight.
Curious minds that ask questions and seek answers drive innovation.
As diverse as the demands of global health
In the world of global health, no two problems are the same – and this is reflected in our projects. At mobile4D, every code, every app and every feature is a direct response to the diverse requirements.

Early diagnosis of dengue fever is crucial to provide the best medical help and prevent a severe course of the disease. However, it is difficult to distinguish between dengue fever and other febrile illnesses, especially for staff with little experience in diagnosing dengue fever.
Sa-Ngamuang et al. (2018) developed a Bayesian network that predicts the likelihood of dengue infection based on clinical symptoms, laboratory results and demographic data. The system is integrated into an app that collects the necessary data and provides the probability of dengue infection.

Dengue vector control involves tracking confirmed dengue cases through a paper-based investigation. The investigation includes tasks such as larval examination, fogging and health education. Several public health actors are involved in this process. To overcome the challenges of the paper-based workflow, we have developed a digital system.
The system consists of two parts. The first part is the web dashboard that is used in the district health offices to organize and manage cases and tasks.
The second part is a mobile app that supports healthcare staff during their on-site examinations.

TM-Vax aims to digitize the vaccination process in hospitals and provide a digital vaccination card for their patients. The system consists of a web dashboard for use in the hospital and an app that serves as a digital vaccination card for the patient.
For the hospital, we created a dashboard that allows medical staff to manage patients, vaccines, diseases and vaccinations.
Vaccines and diseases are fully editable and expandable to stay up to date and reflect recent changes. Vaccinations can be scheduled and administered for patients and vaccines registered in the system.
The app allows you to view and edit your personal data, health status and vaccination status. Vaccination recommendations are given based on your personal profile. Users are registered through a one-time login via a QR code provided by hospital staff. Vaccination cards for all family members can be managed in the same app.

ePRO is a system for collecting clinical trial data via surveys. It is currently being tested by our partners in Thailand in several clinical trials.
The web dashboard, which can be accessed via any web browser, is used by medical staff to create and monitor the studies and their surveys. It also provides the user with a survey builder that allows the questions of each survey to be set up and modified.
In addition, study participants can be registered individually or via a csv import. Once a survey has been started for a study participant, the collected survey data can be viewed at any time and exported to a csv file for analysis.
The mobile app is installed on study participants’ smartphones, where they can view all current and upcoming surveys. When a new survey is activated, the participant receives a push notification. The participants’ entries undergo a rule-based validation process in order to capture meaningful and consistent study data.

M-EBS is our newest system and is currently still under development. It is used to report disease outbreaks and other catastrophic events in the provinces in order to inform the national health system and coordinate measures.
