\u201cThe system employs artificial intelligence to predict a possible outbreak, and geolocate the location of the probable outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, this insight allows us to allocate our resources strategically,\u201d he told reporters at the state Vector Office (Pejabat Vektor Negeri) at the Federal Building in Anson Road, Penang, recently.<\/p>\n

Dr Helmi said the programme is a collaboration between Aime Healthcare and the Penang government to curb the increase in dengue cases and deaths in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the first state in Malaysia to implement this programme and we are willing to share all our information with the Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to work together. We hope that if they come in, we can do it more extensively, not only in Penang, but also in other states,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lim said the most important aspect of AI was its ability to make predictions on where and when the next outbreak would be based on past data.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrevention is the best form of cure. We are investing almost RM500,000 in this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016, there were 12 dengue deaths, in 2017 there were 30 dengue deaths and the dengue cases continue to go up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see the number of dengue cases and deaths go down.\u201d<\/p>\n
