Community participation and technological innovation: Baseline qualitative insights to inform a five-year cohort on drone-based dengue surveillance in Malaysia

A study examining community acceptance of drone-based surveillance for dengue monitoring in Malaysia. While framed as public health research, this represents normalization of pervasive aerial surveillance infrastructure. The focus on overcoming community resistance through 'transparency and communication' suggests potential expansion of surveillance acceptance beyond health applications. Drone surveillance networks, once established for health purposes, could easily be repurposed for broader monitoring.
