Swine flu and sensor-cloud computing

In these days, swine flu outbreak is a hot topic. To detect swine flu patient, a lot of quarantine officers work hard.

I read the following paper about sensor-cloud computing (in other words, sensor-network).

>>
A framework of sensor-cloud integration opportunities and challenges
Mohammad Mehedi Hassan, et. al.
Our primary goal is to facilitate connecting sensors, people and software objects to build community-centric sensing applications. However, the computational tools needed to launch this exploration may be more appropriately built from the data center "Cloud" computing model than the traditional HPC approaches.

I thought, if mobile career integrates the sensor-cloud computing and thermo-sensor phone, it's easy to prevent this outbreak. I'm not sure there is a cell phone with thermo-sensor, but the thermo-sensor itself was already developed such as ROHM BDJ1HFV (http://www.rohm.co.jp/news/080902.html [in Japanese]).


As cloud computing era is just started, this sort of cloud application is appearing. I'm looking forward to see them.
