COVID-19 management needs an integrated and real-time collaboration among all the stakeholders

What it does

NextGenCoviAI is an integrated digital National COVID-19 Health Information Management Platform. This will be used by the:

Ministry of Health to: (i) register all the screening units/hubs and provide a platform for online collaboration and telemedicine support among these hubs, (ii) view in real-time all patients screened with results at each hub, (iii) manage task forces and human resource at each hub, (iv) manage resource allocation, planning and demand forecasting based on statics, and (v) provide instant communication to the public:
Screening Hubs to (i) register patients, (ii) screen patients, (iii) communicate among Hubs, (iv) communicate to Uganda virus research institute, (v) share images for telemedicine support if Chest X-ray images are introduced into the screening protocol with support for automated analysis, (vii) Assign Daily Tasks and (viii) request resources from Ministry of Health, and manage information flow in Quarantine; and
The community to (i) Obtain instant and real-time communication from the ministry of health or Hubs, (ii) Provide a secure 2-way communication to the ministry or nearest screening hub about suspected COVID-19 patient, and (iii) provide automated COVID-19 Risk factors assessment from Home or from the nearest Health centre via a tablet module installed at designated points.

How we built it

NextGenCoviAI is built based on the Django framework and has an equivalent mobile App

Challenges we ran into

Acess to information amidst the lock down was not easy.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have our platform being piloted in one of the national regional referral hospitals, which is the screening hub for the western part of Uganda. We were also the 3rd best innovation from the WHO Digital hackathon on COVID 19.

What we learned

There is a need to always have open data repositories for research.

What's next for PersonalDigitalHealth (PDH)

We are also integrating a deep learning-based model for Automated Dry Cough analysis for COVID-19 diagnosis on top of the other symptoms like fever (temperature) and Shortness of breath.
