Vector Control Survey App

About Vector Control Survey App

Vector Control Survey App is an advanced, field-ready digital platform developed to support NKDA’s daily vector control and public health monitoring activities. It has been designed with a strong focus on accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use so that both VCT (Vector Control Team) Surveyors and H2H (House-to-House) Surveyors can record their findings in real time, reduce manual paperwork, and ensure that every field observation is properly documented. The app enables fast reporting, real-time flagging of issues, real-time tracking of surveyors, image uploading, and structured digital forms—all brought together in one accessible and user-friendly system. By replacing traditional manual surveys with a fully digital process, the application strengthens transparency, ensures traceability, and supports rapid decision-making for public health teams.

For VCT Surveyors (Spray Workers)
VCT surveyors are on the frontline of controlling mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. During daily spraying operations, they often encounter multiple environmental challenges that may turn into high-risk breeding sites if not reported immediately. The Vector Control Survey App provides these field workers with a powerful tool to report all such critical issues instantly while carrying out their routine tasks.

With this app, VCT surveyors can: • Fill out their assigned spray and survey forms quickly and accurately • Flag field-level problems such as stagnant water, clogged drains, broken pipelines, construction waste, overgrown vegetation, uncovered garbage dumps, and inaccessible lanes • Upload photos as visual proof to support faster verification • Provide real-time updates that allow supervisors to take prompt corrective actions • Improve documentation, coordination, and coverage of overall vector control operations

By enabling instant issue reporting, the app ensures that no mosquito-breeding risk goes unnoticed. It helps municipal authorities follow up quickly with cleaning, repair, drainage clearing, or additional spraying activities. This improves both the quality and the impact of daily vector control operations.

For H2H (House-to-House) Surveyors
H2H surveyors conduct door-to-door health surveys across New Town Kolkata to identify early symptoms of vector-borne diseases among residents. They play a key role in the early detection of fever, suspected dengue cases, and other household-level indicators that may require medical attention. The app equips surveyors with a digital platform to systematically record all health-related information and ensure it is promptly delivered to health authorities.

Key features for H2H surveyors include: • Simple and intuitive house survey forms that reduce errors • Ability to flag suspected fever or possible dengue cases for urgent review • Image uploading for verification or follow-up assessment • Digital records that enable quick diagnosis, structured reporting, and immediate decision-making • Better traceability and monitoring of public health risks across different blocks and sectors

This ensures that health authorities can identify patterns early, respond on time, and prevent disease outbreaks. The digital tracking of suspected cases helps ensure that no household is missed and follow-up actions are taken without delay.
