"SMART Travel Health" Application

چکیده
A pilot mobile application was developed using an online tool. The application offers up-to-date information to travellers using RSS news feeds from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition, a Google Maps module was added in the application, which presents (in a map “pin” form) the current travel health notices that are currently in effect (according to CDC) on users’ location and on locations nearby. Another function of this mobile application is the “Push-Notifications” feature, which informs all of the users for health issues, by sending short text messages. Also, a “GPS-Notifications” feature was added to inform travellers instantly with text messages according to their current location. A survey was conducted among 20 randomly selected travellers, to record their opinion about this application.
