The Andhra Pradesh government has introduced the Smart Mosquito Surveillance System (SMoSS) — India’s first AI-powered mosquito control initiative. Launched across 66 locations in cities like Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, and Kurnool, the system uses AI, drones, and IoT to detect mosquito density, species, and breeding conditions in real-time.
Key Highlights:
- AI sensors & drones enable precise fogging and larvicide spraying.
- Real-time dashboard tracks mosquito data and alerts civic teams.
- Hospitals report daily on diseases like dengue and malaria to map hotspots.
- Mobile apps like Vector Control and Puramitra ensure public feedback and transparency.
- Outcome-based outsourcing ensures accountability and efficiency.
This tech-driven initiative aims to reduce costs, improve health outcomes, and position Andhra Pradesh as a leader in AI-led governance.
