Interesting application of mobile communications.
“British parents are enlisting their mobile phones in the fight against head lice. A campaign called ‘Beat The Bugs’ is letting them sign up for text messages whenever there’s an infestation at their child’s school. They’re called ‘Outbreak Alerts’, which sounds very exciting. After a trial run in Northampton, 77% of parents said they were supportive of the idea.”
