Mosquito-borne diseases affect 40 million people every year, and 95% of the population in India reside in malaria endemic areas. While the government has deployed several measures to curb this menace, what is essentially needed is an innovation which is affordable, scalable, and targets vector-borne diseases with precision.

India Health Fund (IHF)-funded TrakItNow, a technology company in the space of public health, has come up with the world’s first smart mosquito control management solution – Moskeet – which uses the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data, to help in early control, limited spread, and eventual eradication of mosquito-borne diseases. The technology can count the number of mosquitoes, identify its gender, and distinguish at least 10 types of mosquito species while gathering data 20 times faster, three times more accurately, and at 15% of the current cost of existing manual methods.
