Inspiration

Healthcare systems don’t suffer from a lack of data—they suffer from a lack of trusted decisions.Infrastructure is often built where data exists, not where real need exists.

We were inspired to solve a deeper problem:How do you help decision makers trust messy, incomplete, and conflicting healthcare data?

What it does

Evidentia is an evidence-aware healthcare planning intelligence platform that helps:

  • Identify true gaps in healthcare access

  • Distinguish real shortages vs. missing data

  • Recommend trusted facilities for patient care

  • Provide explainable, evidence-backed decisions

  • Enable planners to save, review, and refine decisions

Supports:

  • Medical Desert Planner (Track 2) — Find gaps with confidence

  • Referral Copilot (Track 3) — Recommend where patients should go

How we built it

Built on Databricks Lakehouse, Streamlit, FIASS,

  • Data Pipeline - Cle

  • Data Processing

    • Unified 10,000 messy facility records
    • Combined structured and unstructured data
  • Evidence Extraction

    • Converted free text into verifiable capability signals
    • Generated confidence scores
  • Signal Integrity Engine

    • Differentiates:

      • Real infrastructure gaps
      • Data quality issues
  • Models

    • Geospatial coverage analysis (Track 2)
    • Distance + trust-based ranking (Track 3)
  • App Layer

    • Simple non-technical workflows
    • Evidence citations for every output
    • Scenario saving and overrides

Challenges we ran into

  • Messy data

    • Incomplete and inconsistent facility claims
  • Signal vs. noise

    • Hard to distinguish real gaps from missing data
  • Explainability

    • Every output needed clear supporting evidence
  • Human trust

    • Avoiding overconfidence required confidence scoring

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Treated data as claims, not ground truth

  • Built a Signal Integrity Engine for trust-aware decisions

  • Delivered explainable recommendations with citations

  • Enabled confidence-aware planning, not just analytics

  • Designed for non-technical users

What we learned

  • Trust matters more than data

  • Uncertainty must be visible

  • Explainability is critical in healthcare

  • Human-in-the-loop is essential

What's next for Evidentia

  • Integrate real-time healthcare data

  • Add predictive demand modeling

  • Improve geospatial simulations

  • Expand to multi-country deployments

  • Enable collaborative planning workflow

Built With

  • databricks
  • fiass
  • streamlit
