ANIMAL BITE MAPPING (ABMAP)USING MOBILE APPS

Abstract

This study on “Animal Bite Mapping (ABMap) Using Mobile Apps” utilized the descriptive research design for the qualitative approach and developmental research design for the system development. In the interview, most of the participants were bitten by dogs than cats. The highest incident of bites happened in Tuguegarao City. The immediate response of the animal bite victims was to wash the bitten area with soap and water, while the Animal Bite Treatment Center was to attend to their health-care needs and conduct an interview with the patient for health-care interventions. Along the post-exposure prophylaxis, the Tissue Cultured Vaccine (TCV) and Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG) were administered to the animal bite victims.

The developed Animal Bite Mapping System using Mobile Apps quickly provides information to both the animal bite victims and Animal Bite Treatment Centers regarding immediate health-care interventions.

The Animal Bite Mapping System was created using My Structured Query Language (Mysql) which is an open source relational database management system (RDBMS) with a client-server model; Sequential Query Language(SQLite) which is an embedded SQL database engine; Basic4Android (B4a) which is one of the very best options to make an Android application quickly; and Microsoft Visual Studio which is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft that includes a code editor supporting intelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring; and google map application (google map API).
