- 6. MBDS“Strengthen national and Mekong sub-regional capabilities in disease surveillance and response to outbreaks of priority diseases, in order that they can be effectively controlled.”Program Areas:1. Strengthen sustainable national capacity in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation and responses;2. Strengthen health manpowerdevelopment in field epidemiology;3. Establishment of a sub-regional surveillance network.

- 9. Strengthen The Government’s Role in HealthWork through ministriesIn support of gov’t strategies and goalsProvide staff support to governmentBring partners in under guidance of MOH
- 10. Sustainability through capacity building:InSTEDD Innovation LabInSTEDD Regional Innovation LabThe lab is a Regional Resource – InSTEDD works with implementing partners to scale efforts in the region
- 12. Building Local Capacity: Regional iLabRequirements are best understood by local constant dialogueAll technologies go obsolete or need maintenanceTechnologies need to integrate with existing efforts and strategiesEstablish local team that can design systems with end usersLocal team builds modular, open source systems, train in QA; and build on existing & new systemsTrain in interoperability and architecture. Extend existing apps.

- 22. A Platform for PartnersUsers and organizations have new ideas for communication and reporting technologiesInSTEDD builds technology with design efforts in the Mekong using the Innovation Lab as a hubInSTEDD or Implementing Partners extend and build the technologies on the existing foundationUsers get customized, locally owned ICT build on a strong foundation.
- 23. Simplifying local innovationUsers and authorities have new ideas for communication and reporting technologiesInSTEDD builds technology with design efforts in the Mekong using the Innovation LabMaybe we can use SMS to report ILI…Let’s extend tools to do mobile reportsInSTEDD + Change Fusion (Thailand)Implementing Partners build the technologies with InSTEDD extending the existing foundationUsers get customized, locally owned ICT build on a strong foundation.Thank you!It works great and local engineers can maintain it!Let’s take GeoChat and build an ILI application on it!
- 24. Start with simple protocols- req. Training on designing & evaluating protocolsReinforce with self-run excercises, pocket cards
- 25. People will figure out what else can be donePartnering with TelcosImagine every road is a toll road… …and ambulances have to pay!Influence by business reason (easier) or policy Outcome: a national toll-free2-way SMS & voice number, accessed by anyone via GeoChatapis in an easy-to-extend platform
- 26. InSTEDD GEOCHATSMS, email, web, twitter Location, unstructured chats, semi/full structure infoOpen or secure groups Explicit Location (automatic w operator data)SMS-Only interaction possible, low bandwidth viewsSoftware as a Service and Free + Open Source6000+ users, ~35% + SMS only
- 27. Up/Down/Horizontal CommunicationsCollecting data…Simplify getting unstructured, semi-structured and structured informationAlerting…Of whatever information you think is importantTargeted by geography and topicsBreaking SilosNational – sms chat across the borderOrganizational – Local MOH, Pasteur, CDC, etc Domains - animal & human health experts together
- 28. Example applications built locallyVeterinary hotline Very customized smartphone apps + SMS summaries and automated alerts for response & follow upHIV treatment adherence – appointment reminders and follow up guidance – SMS and backend database connected to MRSRapid Response Address BookOutbreak Rapid Response Team & contact guidance, who to call where when etc
- 29. Sharing data & transparencyGrowing a culture of transparency and goal orientationTechnology can simplify how to share data, improving timeliness and quality
