Infectious Disease
Diagnose, trace, and treat faster, keeping every case on protocol.
The Challenge
Surveillance teams must detect outbreaks and respond fast, where every reporting delay lets disease spread further.
Reporting in remote areas
Surveillance sites often lack reliable network coverage.
Tracing contacts across facilities
Cases and referrals must be followed between sites.
Complex case protocols
Field workers need guidance through multi-step investigation steps.
Confirm cases fast at the point of care
- Screen symptoms and record rapid diagnostic test results
- Auto-classify each case and flag it for supervisors
- Works offline so no detection is ever lost
Keep every patient on protocol and on treatment
- Follow the regimen and record each observed dose (DOT)
- Track adherence and surface missed doses instantly
- Trigger reminder messages to patients and supporters
Trace contacts and contain outbreaks
- Trace and monitor every contact of a confirmed case
- Watch active cases, hotspots, and monitoring windows live
- Stand up a response in days for any pathogen
Example Dashboard Integration
Feed national surveillance in real time
- See confirmed cases, positivity, and treatment success on one dashboard
- Break results down by region and disease
- Push straight to national surveillance and DHIS2
