The paper focuses special attention on a project named CARE. The developers of the project is NosoiFighters team, which consists of students of the Cybernetics Faculty in Military University of Technology. The system is a very creative software solution that takes advantage of pioneering sociological theories, graph/networks theory and the last but not least most advanced technologies. It has a very practical purpose, in particular nowadays: countering infectious diseases, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, SARS, etc. The paper demonstrates how the system can help us to nail epidemics. CARE has enormous practical potential in regions such as Africa, where there are not enough medicines to treat all who are at risk.
