Challenge
Modernising health services and using data for decision making across Asia-Pacific is a complex challenge in a demanding environment. Pacific leaders in healthcare have moved to adopt digital technology and have made good progress - but systems for HIS, stock management, surveillance, disaster response, and facility surveying are still typically siloed and data are difficult to aggregate and analyse in real-time. This makes data hard to use for decision makers, especially when needed rapidly.
Description
Tupaia is a free and open-source data aggregation, analysis, and visualisation platform that syncs data from multiple sources (including mSupply and DHIS2) in real-time and makes it available in customized views to decision-makers. These decision-makers range from district managers to senior ministry staff and multilateral donors. Tupaia can be used for health supply chain strengthening, disaster response, improving service provision, disease surveillance, and tracking immunization coverage.
Outcomes
Real-time data integration across multiple countries, assisting health departments in monitoring preparedness and response, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aggregated data from every health facility in Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tonga, Tokelau and Cook Islands.
