    Project Details

    In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the Hellenic Military Geographical Service, in collaboration with the Athens Medical Association and the Region of Attica, developed a geospatial recording and monitoring system to track Covid-19 in real-time. The system is designed to support mobile medical units conducting diagnostic sample testing across the region. Previously, these teams relied on manual data entry through Excel, leading to significant delays in processing and exposing personnel to prolonged contact with potential hotspots. The new system automates data collection, allows instant relay to scientific collaborators, and provides a cartographic background for visualizing viral spread. This real-time system improves safety, reduces processing time, and supports the rapid response to emerging hotspots by providing up-to-date data to the operations center.
