چکیده
BACKGROUND Using the Android platform as a notification instrument for diseases and disorders forms a new alternative for computerization of epidemiological studies. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to construct a tool for gathering epidemiological data on schistosomiasis using the Android platform. METHODS The developed application (app), named the Schisto Track, is a tool for data capture and analysis that was designed to meet the needs of a traditional epidemiological survey. An initial version of the app was finished and tested in both real situations and simulations for epidemiological surveys. RESULTS The app proved to be a tool capable of automation of activities, with data organization and standardization, easy data recovery (to enable interfacing with other systems), and totally modular architecture. CONCLUSIONS The proposed Schisto Track is in line with worldwide trends toward use of smartphones with the Android platform for modeling epidemiological scenarios.

Real-time acoustic tomography system and the experience of Caspian current sea monitoring
The Acoustic Tomography (AT) systems are used to monitor long-term and continuous flow in rivers, seas and oceans. One of the disadvantages of existing systems in Iran is the inability of real-time/automated measurements. In this study, by adding a raspberry Pi computer to the system and performing the required programming, it was possible to do online monitoring. The data are transferred to th...
