1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background context

Nowadays Environmental pollution is a major threat which has affected to the security of living
beings in worldwide. As a result of this so many diseases had born in order to reduce the efficiency
of health security.

There are so many ways to enter to the environmental pollution which is subdivided to three
categories as Air, Land and Water. As a result of development of technology, it was influenced to
make polluted environment. This is a prominent way for entering. Thus, the effect of
environmental pollution leads to producing lot of noncommunicable diseases as Dengue.

Those responsibilities are hold to Department of Health and Security to take an action for
preventing the increment on pollution. If there is a proper way to connect with an authority directly,
that will be the best solution to take an action immediately.

As a solution to the above-mentioned problem, introducing and implementing a mobile application

will be help to reduce the gap between people and the authorities in order to maintaining and
building the bridge of connection. When the photos and the location of polluted places are
uploaded through the above application, shared post can be watched by users. Also post can be
searched by looking at in which city is being polluted. The Department of health and security is
connected through this application in order to restrict the pollution by taking actions immediately.
Afterwards the static report will be provided through data gathering by this application. Further it
will be helped to mitigate spread of diseases in the environment.

1.2 Research problem to be addressed
In current period, polluted areas are informed to the authorities from manual process. It is a long-
distance process and hence, the incidents are signified by the citizens and information will be
granted to specific authority. That information should be checked in order to check whether those
are correct or not. After the confirmation, they will take an action with respect to the granted
problem. Thus, the process tends to time wasting. As a result of wasting time, noncommunicable
diseases will be expanded immensely. As a solution to this manual behavior, the research team
have been developed a mobile application which is able to connect the authorities with confirmed
details of pollutions. This system will be using the image processing technology to enhance images
or to extract some useful details from it.

As a solution to the above-mentioned problem, introducing and implementing a mobile application

will be help to reduce the gap between people and the authorities in order to maintaining and
building the bridge of connection. When the photos and the location of polluted places are
uploaded through the above application, shared post can be watched by users. Also post can be
searched by looking at in which city is being polluted. The Department of health and security is
connected through this application in order to restrict the pollution by taking actions immediately.
Afterwards the static report will be provided through data gathering by this application. Further it
will be helped to mitigate spread of diseases in the environment.

1.3 Research questions

The following were the research questions which led this project into a successful end.

• What are the common epidemic diseases in Sri Lanka and what can be tracked via an ICT
application?

• How to educate general public on hygienic factors?

• How to track and send notifications to authorized organization about epidemic diseases?

• How to provide collaboration within general public to share information?

2|Page
1.4 Research objectives
The following were the research objectives which were the solution for the research questions for
successful end of the project.

1. To identify the common epidemic diseases in Sri Lanka and what can be tracked via an
ICT application.

2. To develop an android based mobile application to provide guidelines on hygienic

factors.

3. To develop real time data tracking application in order to track and send notifications to
authorized organizations about epidemic diseases.

4. To develop a social network for general public to share ideas.

1.5 Scope of the research

Main scope of this research focuses on developing a system to estimate the issues occurred to the
people to the health problems as they have to wait for a long to get a solution for their problems.
As a result, the user will be less pressurized and the time consumed will be minimize. My focus is
to make this new system more user friendly thereby motivating the users to use this new system
more often and give them some idea about this system.

1.6 Research contribution
As a solution to the above-mentioned problem, introducing and implementing a mobile application
will be help to reduce the gap between people and the authorities in order to maintaining and
building the bridge of connection. When the photos and the location of polluted places are
uploaded through the above application, shared post can be watched by users. Also post can be
searched by looking at in which city is being polluted. The Department of health and security is
connected through this application in order to restrict the pollution by taking actions immediately.
Afterwards the static report will be provided through data gathering by this application. Further it
will be helped to mitigate spread of diseases in the environment. This might be contributed to
develop effectiveness of securing and protecting users own place or any other places.

Image processing and GPS tracking are used to execute this mobile application which potentially
stand by preventing diseases.

This Health Stat mobile application is provided information about the places that are being polluted
from the posts which are shared by users. Such that impact on environment could be easily
detected. After proving the information, either an authority or an informed person can be taken an
action to prevent pollution. All the incident will be updated to a database. Also, analysis of data is
deployed to build static report to reveal the current situation in monthly. It might be helpful for
determining the situation and is suggested suitable solutions in order to reducing the bad condition
on today. GPS tracking can be used to access the location which will be exactly happened and will
be known the time period is taken to arrive.

The timeframe of the project is limited to one month. Therefore, main requirements of the project
are identified and collected. More features are planned to add for develop facilities. The research
is more capable in interfaces designing, programming and database designing as well as data
analyzing. Unfortunately, the researcher does not have sufficient knowledge in image processing.
Thus, there are several issues occurred when implementing it. Main issues are time and technology.
Therefore, researcher had to spent some time to get knowledge for increasing his knowledge
capacity. Also, more information had collected to get knowledge on GPS tracking. So, time
management concept was followed in order to gain success on project.

After collecting sufficient available resources, the project can be implemented within a month

2. Literature review

2.1 Introduction
Currently in a situation, government authority takes responsibilities after they have got the
confirmation regarding that issue. People might be suffered from mentioned problem until they
will be taken actions on that issue. That may be an unpleasant experience that they have faced.
Any proper answer to this question is not provided to the group of people who was influenced till
the authority will making impact on this issue. There can be arising noncommunicable diseases
among people. Therefore, it could be damaged to the self-security in human beings. In such
situation as disaster, an immediate action should be taken. When the proper information will not
be granting, authority might fail to resolve it quickly.

Nowadays, quick and fast data sharing technique are involved to solving lot of problem. According
to that concept, this new mobile application may give benefits to those who are facing issues as
mentioned before.

The proposed system will reduce the time taken and will increase the efficiency of the service.
Users get the responsibilities for their own post and precise information will be a benefit for
securing their lives

There are three areas which literature review is focused on. They are image processing, GPS
tracking and data report.

6|Page
2.2 GPS Tracking
GPS tracking is the surveillance of location to track the location of an entity remotely using of the
Global Positioning System (GPS). In various cases, GPS tracking is used. A system which was
detected dengue patients has been explained by Emmenual Reddy, Sarnil Kumar, Nicholas
Rollings, and Rohitash Chandra in 2015. In the last decades Dengue is a major health concern in
Fiji with the number of dengue outbreaks occurring. Mostly Dengue is transmitted from mosquito
bites. Also, early recognition of Dengue is very prominent to prevent spreading. Currently
diagnosing is very slow and time consuming which is done by hospitals. Therefore, it is important
to monitor the spread of Dengue since no vaccine cure currently available.

The proposed system is consisted of global positioning system (GPS) which is satellite-based
navigation system allows the accurate positioning of an object using satellite signals. That is used
for monitoring purpose. Thus, Dengue infected area will be identified by Health authority quickly
in Fiji.

Probably health care around the world is being potentially promoted by health information
technology. Usually mobile phones are being tended to carry by people with them rather than
desktop computers. Open source software is becoming popular in developing countries due to
above reason. In terms of that, this proposed mobile application was developed.

In the case of detected fever or any related feasible symptoms as severe headache, severe eye pain,
joint and muscle pain(myalgia), skin rash, mild bleeding manifestation, low white blood cell count,
nausea/vomiting and joint swell, users take precautionary steps that is advised by the mobile
application. Afterward user’s current location is tracked via the GPS tracker and information is
stored in a database. Path of data transmission from the mobile application is followed by below.

7|Page
Here there is a feature where a case of dengue can be reported by the patients. The location of the
user which is based in terms of GPS coordinates is updated on the database, Once the user reports
a case. Dengue map is generated using locations which are given on the Dengue tracker website.
Location of people infected with Dengue Fever in the island of Viti Levu, Fiji is followed as below.

The above proposed system can be used to identify and control the spread of dengue with efficient
and cost-effective way. There seems to be some limitations under this application. For instance,
not everyone has a smart phone and some people may not smart phone literate. Also, application
requires the user to have internet credit and to have the mobile data enable.

2.3 Data Report
According to Sandra Dercevic an overview of data report is an evaluation tool. Further past present
and future business information can be assessed using this evaluation tool while keeping way of
the overall performance of the company. Various data are being combined with it and it can be
used to make decisions.

Data analysis is the science of examine row data while drawing the conclusions about that
information. Data, analyses, conclusions, and recommendations have been presented in data
report. It can be either month or annual report which cover a wide variety of objectives and topics.
Rules and practices are different with respect to the type of the data report. Roadmap technique
can be helpful for preparing data report more productively. Determining the audience is essential
before you will make the report.

Following figure represent a roadmap which is used to enter for building data report

Make sure to keep your report with shunning visuals, possible objectives, sharply written content,
actionable report with simple language along with a complete story and try to use a professional
software to develop it. Remember that it should have a proper detail plan with relevant KPIs.

Following is an example for making business report.

A company need to keep an eye on their monetary operations. Thus, the heart of any business is
called finance. Therefore, Financial KPI Dashboards reveal financial health of a company in
general.

Above figure represent some of Financial KPI Dashboards.

KPI must be chosen carefully by the retailers. With having lack of confusing retail KPI dashboard
should be made.

Above figure represent some of Retail KPI Dashboards.

2.4 Image Processing
Lamiaa A. Elrefaei introduced a system to obtain efficiently and accurately reading of the
electricity digital meter based on image processing. To acquire the image of the electricity meter,
the black camera of the mobile phone is used in this system. Also disadvantages of method of
manual electric meter reading were being stimulated to build automated system. since man power
and time consumption rate is higher in manual process. Therefore, sequence of image processing
functions was being applied to automatically extract and recognize the digits of the meter reading
images from electricity meters in Saudi Arabia.

There are three main stages that image goes through: preprocessing which cropping numeric
reading area at the end, individual digit segmentation which scan and cropped numeric area
vertically and horizontally and produced 6 isolate digits, and finally recognizing digits by
comparing each segmented digit with the digits templates.

Four main steps are contained in preprocessing stage as convert RGB image to grayscale, image
binarization, noise reduction and crop reading area. Below figure reveals the results of
preprocessing

11 | P a g e
Vertical scanning and horizontal scanning were being done in digit segmentation to produced 6
isolate digits. Below figures reveal the results of individual digit segmentation.

Digits recognition stage consists of two steps, feature extraction and template matching. This
technique is based on number of white pixels.

In Saudi Arabia, this proposed system has been tested on 21 images of electric meters captured by
camera. The results show, 96.49% accuracy rate of recognition and 85.71% accuracy rate of
electric meter readings. Mobile application could be developed by using proposed system.
Disadvantage of this system was can only read Arabic digit electric meters.

12 | P a g e
2.5 Research gap
The gap between the existing applications and the proposed application are the existing
applications are working according to different various, they’re not friendly with environment.
Proposed application is very environment friendly because application runs in environment things
based on photos, videos. And the existing applications not generate a report but proposed one
generate a static report to health department for help their working schedule doing correct and
neatly. The google location used to identify the exact location about users post.

3. Methodology
The methodology subtopic contains all the information’s about the methodology what this research
has used to develop the mobile application. There are five phases of methodology are planning,
analyzing, designing, implementation and testing are described in this further section. The “Health
Stats” Agile method will be used to develop this application. The reason is when the application
developing it is risky and has some complex scope.

3.1 Planning
Planning is the fundamental phase in SDLC to understand why the research has to be done and to
determine how the research is going to build the application. Here are the pinpointed and measured
the objective and the project plan for the application development.

• Identifying business value

The research problem was identified and scope of the project was discussed with the supervisor
and the stake holders. The value of the Business was identified which will show why the
application should be built. Finally, the project charter was created including a brief description of
the proposed application.

• Feasibility Analysis

Once the project has identified the important functions, feasibility analysis was done to gather the
opportunities, threat and limits associated with the project. The following feasibility analysis was
done to ensure whether the project was technically, economically and organizationally feasible or
not. Each of these feasibility analysis sections is discussed below.

Technical feasibility
In technically feasibility, it cleared out that the project size is no more complex for complete within
the time range and the familiarity with the application and the technology is excellent with the
project with me to carried out the project. The benefits and cost associated with the system were
identified as the economic feasibility and the estimate of the hardware, software and other
technological conditions wanted to develop the system.

14 | P a g e
Software:

• Operating system, windows 10 (64 bits) or above version

• Android studio version 3.2.1
• Java development kit (JDK)
• Adobe Photoshop CS6
• Firebase
• Visual studio code 2015
• Microsoft office 2016

Hardware:

• Android device
• Intel core i7 processor
• 8GB or above RAM
• Keyboard and mouse
• Router

Economic feasibility
The result of a financial evaluation is calculated together with other parties to make the decision on project
investments, as the good investment estimate helps ensure that the reliable project is carried out in a way that
gives it the best chance of achieving project objectives.

Organizational feasibility
Risk management is the one of most important areas of work. I have measured the risks I face
during this project.

The biggest risks were the time and data gathering. And the statistical report made some small
risks to this application. Unexpected expansion of the project and modification of documents to
final demand before completion. And next risk was the budget how I estimate, unexpected budget
was increase and broadening the scope of the project under budget risk. Due to insufficient
resources, operational risks, lack of communication with friends and failure to identify the assigned
task. Another major risk was the technical risk. And these were the ones that made the project too
complex to complete, a lack of up-to-date technology that did not have enough support, either in
the technical areas, or in the performance and failure of the devices used for project.

15 | P a g e
Ultimately, there was also the risk of a program, that is, I was prioritizing many system or strategy
changes. These are the risks I was face during the process of a particular project. A work plan was
developed to discuss the project implementation, monitoring and closure procedures, include
future measures. Standards and documentation were used to coordinate project activities.

Staffing the project

After identifying all the subtasks, a staffing plan was created and a project proposal was prepared
and submitted. Finally, the flexibility of the project was discussed about how the system should
face to the future changes of the project and the changes requested proceeding towards the
following phase of the project.

16 | P a g e
3.2 Analysis
Collecting requirements and analysis requirements for a project is the most important part of the
SDLC for project managers and internal project stakeholders. The analysis stage was focused on
collecting requirements for such a system and analyzing the problems and advantages of these
systems, which lead to the development of a common system. First, a circular system was
analyzed, and strengths and problem were identified. A research is overseen the development of
an Android and Apple based mobile application that would provide solutions for insurance clients.

Requirement Gathering
According to the identified requirements the gathering of information had to be carried out.
Gathered data sources are interviews, questioner and refers literature review.

• Interviews

Project team had interviewed the members in Health Department in Colombo to get knowledge
about the environment pollution, types of diseases and discuss how the data that can be
implemented to develop the application.

• Questionnaires

Questionnaire was prepared and distributes to sample as Google form to WhatsApp groups,
Facebook and other social medias. This questionnaire was issued to the users and employees in
Health department to get details and ideas how to develop the application.

• literature review

The main target of the literature review is to inform the reader what knowledge and idea have been
established on a topic and what their weaknesses and strengths are. And also compare the early
research finding the ideas of the project research and how to enhanced the research ideas using
new technologies. Mainly refers journals in IEEE, Google scholar and some digital libraries.

The areas of the literature review are,

• Study about Google Location concept.

• Study about the methodologies and technologies.
• Study about Android applications and Apple applications.
• Advantages, disadvantages and limitations of those methodologies and technologies.
• Study about the Garbage Recycling concept.

17 | P a g e
3.3 Designing

The design phase shows how each part of the research would work in terms of user interface,
database, software, algorithms and logic. The research has designed the following sub-phase to
develop the application into a fully developed.

• Design the UML diagram

• Design the interfaces
• Login page
• Register page
• Home page
• Notification page
• User profile page
• Chat box page
• Static report page
• Google navigation page

• Design database
• Use for Firebase

• Design the algorithm and logics

• Suitable GPS system
• Calculate data to Static report

18 | P a g e
Architecture Design

The user has to face many difficulties if they have to face these problems in offline method. If
means, the users have to wait a long time until they get solution from the Health department. As a
solution for this problem when the users get some problem, they should be sent photos or videos
of the issue happened and sent it to the system with their location. Through this suggest application,
then can find out exact location of the users very easily using GPS tracking. Another benefit of
this above application is when the user uploads their details to this application, the most suitable
solution will be suggesting or provided by the Health department immediately without wasting
their valuable time.

The implementation step is to build and implement the effective output after an error test. The
android and apple mobile application based on “Health Stats” focused some main components,
they are

This project has developed the following major components.

1. How to data gather and make a report of stats.

2. How to send a red alert to the Health Department using this system.

3. Get exact live location using GPS tracking.

32 | P a g e
3.5 Testing

Under this testing phase, the research conducted the test plan by using the white box, black box
and integration testing methods. The test method is performed before the application is released to
certify that the developed software complies with the specifications and standard quality
requirements. During the testing phase the project organized to present the tests on the health
application as a whole and also component by component.

• Unit testing
The research use unit testing method to test every part in the system separately. Each part is tested
separately to check whether every functionality is working correct or not. This is the main testing
key word to test this system because every units are attached with each other. And they are the
main units in this system.

1. To test the image proccing.

2. To test the static repot.

3. To test the GPS tracking.

4. To test the verification of data.

• Integration testing
If the unit test completely done, then all the components integrate together to test integration
testing. And test all the functions again. This testing method test all the functionalities in Health
Stats are working properly or not. If the all data using in this system must communicate with each
other correctly because if only a one data is missing so the integrated part is not work in properly.

The application connects with the Servers to get some data.

33 | P a g e
 • System testing
After the completion of the system, can find out how the final system works correctly without
errors and bugs. And the testing’s system testing is the final one because after this stage past

4.2 Discussion
The problems got while implementing the mobile application and how the research have led to
solve those problems are discussed under this subsection along with the components and
specifications deviated from the project as showed in the proposal and the reasons for those
deviations.

Problems and Solutions

This project faced some problems while implementing the Health Stats mobile based
environment pollution application.

• The laptop got slow while developing the project using Android Studio. Then insert
an external RAM.

• Incorrect estimation of time while developing the application caused an increase of

stress level among the group members.

• Sometime the project not going in right path because some requirements changing.

• Lack of up-to-date technology caused too complexity to implement the application.

• Gathering reliable details.

5. Conclusion
This session describes a brief summarization on all the topics discussed whole mobile application.
This session contains Importance of output, limitations of project, Recommendation and Future
works. Firstly, the major of this project with the concurrent situations is discussed. Then the
limitation factors are discussed in summary, followed by recommendations that can be made
further to improve the outcome of the system is discussed.

5.1 Importance of outcomes

The main purpose of this research was to enhance the user’s friendly application, to overcome their
problems and challenges of health problems. Users can manage time more efficiency through this
application. There are many health applications in play store but this mobile application has
designed with special feature the user can identify it using the special logo in our application.
Health state is an efficient application to determine the health problems in an environment around
the users as they do not want to arrival to the government or health organization all the time. This
application automatically calculates all the problems of the users using its technology. The user
only has to download this application and should upload the photos and videos the area in to this
application with its location. Other major function is suggesting a suitable solution with the
connection of health department. This application gives many advantages for users. They are

• It saves the valuable time of the users as they do not want to visit anywhere to inform their
issues.

• Reduce the time consumed for waiting for a solution agent, to arrive using GPS technology.

• Gives the best solution, using the health department.

43 | P a g e
5.2 Limitations
During the development of the project, follow limitation constraints are figured out.

• The mobile application does not support any platform other than Android and IOS.
• Users not respond the questions and fill some fields correctly.
• The application not work without internet connection.
• Lack of the knowing some users use the mobile application.
• Sampling problems.
• Server should work properly to get good result in application.

5.3 Recommendations
• User should have Android or Apple mobile phone.
• User should have fast internet connection.
• User should have minimum of 16GB storage and minimum of 2GB RAM.
•

5.4 Future Work
