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
