  Wastewater Based Epidemiology

  Wastewater-based epidemiology allows detecting the pathogens in wastewater and offers early citywide infection alerts to local governments. Local governments utilize this data for strategic health measures, enhancing resource allocation. 

   

  Our platform has utilized this tool for surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A & B,Hepatitis A & E, Mpox and antimicrobial resistance in five cities. 

  The Platform’s decentralized system and user-friendly dashboards provide real-time outbreak warnings, and public access to this data through social media and workshops enables local authorities to act swiftly.

  Participatory Surveillance

  The system leverages community intelligence for providing continuous first-hand data and information on health status within the community that allows us to keep an eye out for any trends that imply disease outbreaks using our state-of-the-art algorithms. By combining facts from other data sources with what people in the community say, participatory surveillance helps us gain a holistic picture of the health of vulnerable communities.

   

  The platform conducted pilot in Bangalore to capture the most prevalent symptoms associated with various climate-sensitive health risks amongst the most vulnerable communities.

  Event-based Surveillance

  The in-house developed Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) Tool is an automated system to collect and document the most current information concerning infectious diseases and climate-related health risks from a wide range of media sources. The platform helps us identify emerging health crises through real-time, precise insights and report them to target communities for action.

   

  It creates a comprehensive repository of articles, filtering and analyzing data meticulously to eliminate redundancy and information overload.

  The Platform has utilized the tool to report on Dengue, Mumps and Kyasanur Forest Disease outbreaks.

  Geographical Information System

  GIS is utilized for identifying risk-prone zones for events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves while mapping the vulnerable population in proximity. GIS also aids in assessing the effectiveness of wastewater surveillance strategies and ensuring prioritization of vulnerable populations for any on-ground intervention. 

   

  The Platform dashboards extensively use GIS such as neighborhood categorization, sewer drains & drainage configuration for enhanced comprehension & analysis.

  Triangulation Intelligence

  Integrating & triangulating data and information on various health and climate risk indicators for a comprehensive city decision making system using visual dashboards.

   

  Examples of our work include a digital dashboard to track pathogenic bacteria, AMR patterns, helminth egg loads, etc in Bangalore and an integrated data platform (dashboards) for Tabaco city

  The platform utilizes the scientific evidence and intelligence generated through the surveillance tools to develop evidence-backed communication with clear and actionable messages for communities and policymakers to understand.READ MORE

   

  

  Intelligence Communication

  The platform utilizes the scientific evidence and intelligence generated through the surveillance tools to develop evidence-backed communication with clear and actionable messages for communities and policymakers to understand.

   

  Reporting on disease outbreaks/alerts to governments is done through detailed reports and to communities through localized IEC materials and seasonal guides.
