SMART PREVENTION
TECHNOLOGY AT THE SERVICE OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Welcome to Bio Scan, an innovative system that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and drones to aid in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. With the ability to identify and eliminate Aedes aegypti breeding sites before they spread, our goal is to protect lives and reduce public healthcare costs.
Our automated method enables cities and health agents to have a clear view of risk areas and act quickly and efficiently. Prevention is the key to reducing infections by up to 30% and keeping our communities safer.

Get to know the BioScan project
​The BioScan Project is an innovative initiative focused on preventing mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and drones. This project stands out by enabling the quick and efficient identification of potential mosquito breeding sites in urban and peripheral areas. Early and accurate detection is essential to disrupting the mosquito reproduction cycle, significantly reducing infections, and easing the burden on public healthcare systems.
​
How It Works?
We use drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and AI systems that fly over neighborhoods and strategic areas (as shown in the images below). The analysis of the captured images allows us to identify locations with standing water accumulation and other conditions favorable for mosquito breeding. Below, you can see an example of a planned 5 km flight in just 14 minutes.
Drone route planning for scanning possible breeding sites.
This type of monitoring ensures quick and extensive coverage of the area, allowing for effective interventions.
Why this project is necessary?
With BioScan technology, it is possible to:
​
-
Detect risk points in advance;
-
Plan preventive actions in collaboration with local health agents;
-
Reduce annual infections by up to 30% by preventing outbreaks in critical areas;
-
Minimize public healthcare costs by avoiding hospitalizations and emergency treatments.
Dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases pose a global challenge, affecting millions of people every year. Effective prevention of these diseases relies on identifying and eliminating mosquito breeding sites before the population becomes infected. However, in densely populated areas such as slums and outskirts, this task can be extremely challenging due to a lack of infrastructure and constant monitoring.
Facilitating the work of health agents
Efficiency in work routines
-
Instead of conducting exhaustive manual visits, agents can access accurate and timely information.
-
This enables the planning of routines in a more efficient and focused manner.​
Efficiency in work routines
Focus on critical areas
​
-
Technology enables the detection of the most critical breeding sites.
-
Teams can focus on priority areas, reducing rework and enhancing the results of inspections.
Focus on critical areas
​
-
Drones allow for the monitoring of inaccessible areas safely and quickly.
-
Agents avoid exposure to dangerous situations, such as unstable or infested terrain.
Safe monitoring of risk zones
Strategic and Educational Actions
-
With more time and accurate data, professionals can direct their efforts toward more strategic actions within the community.
-
This includes educating the population about the importance of prevention.
Less time in the field, more impact
-
Technology transforms the approach of agents, enabling them to work more intelligently.
-
The result is a reduction in cases and the preservation of public health.
Prevention: A Major Economic Ally
In 2024, the Ministry of Health (Brazil) allocated R$ 1.5 billion to combat outbreaks of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. These expenditures reflect the need for reactive and emergency actions to contain the spread.
With BioScan, PREVENTION would become the priority, identifying stagnant water sites before they become a problem. In addition to preventing outbreaks, the technology would reduce hospital costs and the impact on public finances, providing an efficient and economical solution.
Together for public health
The implementation of technologies like drones for monitoring mosquito breeding sites represents a significant advancement in the fight against vector-borne diseases such as dengue. By providing accurate and timely information, we empower health agents to work more efficiently and effectively.
It is essential for the community to get involved in this process by adopting preventive measures and collaborating with health teams. Together, we can create a safer and healthier environment, reducing the incidence of diseases and improving the quality of life in our community.
​
With technology by our side, we turn prevention into a powerful ally in building healthier and safer communities.
