Abstract:
Health surveillance is an important monitoring tool. Collection and dissemination of
health information must be immediately done so that the people involved can act and
immediately plan effective health programs. These will be better implemented using the
technologies that are now available in the market like the use of the short messaging service
(SMS) of mobile phones and the internet. The system that was created uses the SMS
technology to deliver cases of notifiable diseases reports from barangay health centers to city
health office daily. Queries regarding cases of notifiable diseases are now possible through
die use of the SMS and Internet technologies.
