WELLNESS IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY: Filipino made MOSES tablet leads 'smart' tech at national science week. Filipino-made tablet computer specially built for disaster preparedness is one of the "smart" technologies highlighted at the 2013 National Science & Technology Week (NSTW) this week. The Mobile Operational System for Emergency Services, or MOSES, an 8-inch tablet computer designed for use by government officials and disaster response personnel, was unveiled on the first day of the NSTW. The tablet is locally designed and produced, and is meant for use by officials to monitor and plan for upcoming natural calamities.

MOSES tablet leads 'smart' tech at national science week: "Information flow is two-way: It can receive real-time weather, flood, and disaster information from the state weather bureau PAGASA and from the National Operational Assessment of Hazards (Project NOAH), through pre-installed applications. Users, on the other hand, can provide data and images of their location, particularly during calamities, such as floods and landslides. Data from the field are collected by the project's command center, and will be mapped to give an accurate view of the situation on the ground. The information will also be used for warnings and alerts during disasters." CLICK LINK TO READ FULL ARTICLE
