Build a Java mobile application that runs on low cost mobile phones and uses the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), an instant messaging and presence protocol with widespread adoption, to enable the following:
Field workers collect samples, carry out tests. Health workers post symptoms, test results. Results can be sent in real time to experts. Experts respond with advice, recommendations, and prescriptions (can be in real time with the use of XMPP).
Experts use data in research and analysis. Findings and conclusions used to improve local health and farming practices. Build on open source software like BioJava and Java Evolutionary Biology Library. Use free analysis and visualization software like Geneious (has an XMPP interface).

Carrie Underwood's wedding was one of the most special days of her life, but it will likely become fodder for jokes when she and Brad Paisley host the Country Music Association Awards for the third year in a row.
The two will anchor the Nov. 10 ceremony in Nashville, and Paisley said of Underwood's July union with NHL player Mike Fisher: "We have to bring it up."
"It was big news in country music, so if it is that, it is fair game, as well as Nashville or current events," he said in an interview with Underwood wedding gowns on Thursday. "It's worth talking about anything like that that people will relate to."
The two joked about Paisley's wedding gift to Underwood, a bowl, which Paisley said his wife picked out.
"Is it something you wanted or it's in the pile of re-gift items?" asked Paisley.
"You're going to get it back three Christmases from now," said Underwood.
"I can't wait to get that back," said Paisley.
They also talked about Underwood's wardrobe. She is known to switch up her outfits Backless Wedding Dresses multiple times throughout the show, changing more than 10 times last year.
"I can't change anymore than I did last year," said Underwood. "I don't think that's a physical possibility, so I'm not going to try to outdo the costumes."
So maybe it's Paisley's turn to change his outfits this year?
"I think that would be awesome," said Underwood. "I'm going to stay in the same thing all night. I'm going to show up in my pajamas, and you're going to do your thing."
As for hosting together, the two have a natural timing and chemistry together that comes across on stage and in-person.
