Epidemics, pandemics and emergencies
A data analysis dashboard for disaster aid management, and a supply chain driven by disease data rather than by guesswork.
Detection to supply, and back again
One argument
Medical logistics fails in an emergency for a predictable reason: demand is estimated from population size rather than derived from disease data, so supplies arrive in the wrong quantity in the wrong place. If the surveillance record and the supply chain are the same system, the estimate improves by an order of magnitude.
This is why the Integrated Interoperable Distress Aid and Logistics Environment sits inside the platform rather than beside it.
Four capabilities
Data analysis dashboard
Case counts, geography and trend, drawn from the records already being created.
Read more →Supply chain management
Demand derived from disease statistics; distribution tracked to the point of use.
Volunteer and staff mobilisation
Through the Foundation's existing network of local volunteers and para-medical staff.
Read more →Reporting to authorities
Timely transmission from local to provincial and national agencies, and summaries back to clinicians.
Read more →What we ask of partners in advance
Register the population before the emergency
A population with existing health profiles can be triaged in an outbreak. One without cannot.
Agree the escalation path in advance
Who is called, in what order, with what authority.
Rehearse
A response procedure that has never been run is a document, not a capability.
Prepare before you need it.
District authorities, large employers and school networks.
