Description
Obtaining data on jellyfish sightings and stings is crucial for various scientific research projects.
And having a small tool that anyone can install on their mobile phone, which simplifies the task of reporting jellyfish sightings or their effects on people, is exactly what was needed to provide science with this data.
Furthermore, the information flows both ways, as the data provided by the public travels back to science to alert and better understand the movements of each species over time and across the map.
Simply take a photo of the jellyfish with Medusapp, and when you send it, you'll also be sending the GPS coordinates to create a real-time map of the locations where these marine animals are sighted. If you also know the species, even better. But if not, don't worry, AI and a committee of experts will take care of classifying it.
This app can also be used to report other types of marine wildlife sightings, as well as the effects of jellyfish stings.
In addition, it includes a short first aid guide for jellyfish stings and another for identifying different jellyfish species.
Developed by Ramón Palacios and Eduardo Blasco as a contribution to citizen science.
Scientific development and management of scientific and medical data by Dr. Cesar Bordehore and Dr. Eva S. Fonfría, Multidisciplinary Institute for Environmental Studies “Ramon Margalef”, University of Alicante. Dr. Victoria del Pozo and Dr. Mar Fernández Nieto, CIBER Respiratory Diseases Network (CIBERES), Immunoallergy Laboratory, Department of Immunology, Jiménez Díaz Foundation Health Research Institute (IIS-FJD).
The information on jellyfish and first aid comes from the LIFE Cubomed project (www.cubomed.eu), in which Dr. Bordehore participates.
Photos of jellyfish sightings that are validated will be made public on the map, while photos of stings will not.

Awesome idea and also needed. As everybody can contribute. Hope to see the whole app being fully functional in the near future.

The information does not seem up-to-date, and although I posted an alert twice, it won't show up in the map. A good idea but not functional so far. Update: the app seems to have many more publications now, and they seem to be all up to date. I will keep having a look.

Doesn't work at all, every step freezes and if I try to open the calendar it turns my screen into a strobe light effect!! And I need to close the app. The idea is very good, but I would not recommend other users to download this until the error is fixed.
