H-Radar utilizes the mobile device's Global Position System (GPS) and notification functions to collect precisely geographic locations and provide real time-disease alert when detecting mobile user travel to a high risk area. Information provided by this tool is integrated with large-scale and de-identified publicly available database from CDC as the baseline along with user self-reported information.
