The Problem

India's public health sector allocates 2 percent of the country's GDP, contributing to inefficient and disorganized data systems that puts its citizens at risk. Health data in India is often non-digitized. The system suffers from a lack of geo-coding and missing metadata, while continuous temporal and spatial data are non-existent.

The Solution

MapSights is a web-desktop application designed for regional health systems that records field data in a digital standardized format with geo-coding to enable accurate health data tracking (e.g. vaccination rollout or rapid antigen testing). MapSights allows users to host multiple functional modules, such as disease tracking and relief distribution, in a single project using direct data entries or imported databases. It provides geo-processing tools for data operations on an intuitive application interface. MapSights uses spatial analytics and AI/ML to enable inference and decision making, providing the benefits of robust and scientific data processing to all the stakeholders.

Stats

MapSights' civic data solution covers a population of 31.5 million people across Haryana and Chandigarh.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
The solution has the potential to serve all 1.3 billion Indians, although in pilot phase, it serves 27.5 million people of Haryana state. Covid-19 type pandemics are a double jeopardy for the state with stark public health consequences and a looming economic crisis. The application is capable of targeting relief operations to areas. World Bank projected millions of Indians to be among the 60 million worldwide who may fall into extreme poverty in 2020. This solution serves the state and its people by: - Giving a robust decision support system to planners; with key data insights for disease tracking, infrastructure planning, vaccination rollout strategies, relief operations, lockdown entry-exit strategies during pandemics etc. - Acting as information trove for epidemiological assessments, unearthing linkages between various attributes and helping identify the most vulnerable within communities. - One stop shop for citizens to access their local data on disease transmission, management and risk.
