Cell phones can definitely save lives if you're calling for help during an emergency, but with the proper software on it, the handset can even investigate and contain a polio outbreak as evident in what happened in East Africa. The EpiSurveyor software will log patients' symptoms as well as listing down the kind(s) of treatment received. It can also be used to track an emergency vaccination campaign and with such information in hand, one is able to stop a potential epidemic dead in its tracks.
