VectorAnalytica

Infectious diseases are combatted and contained at the local level. Or they are not contained at all. But today, paper entry, siloed data sets, and delayed analytics means relevant information is not fully integrated and harmonized, it is aggregated too coarsely, and returned to the local authorities far too slowly for them to take effective action. VectorAnalytica was created to enhance the existing surveillance of municipalities and counties worldwide by offering a suite of ICT tools they can use as a "surveillance system in a box" for infectious diseases. It can also be used by research organizations and national research institutes to validate new models and develop a better understanding of a disease's multifaceted dynamics. VectorAnalytica produces comprehensive solutions that combine web and mobile technology and data science tools. Our solutions provide users with a customized analytical engine with which to process data in real time and generate reports from the system’s outputs. A variety of data sources are integrated as a single system, including primary data entry through mobile devices; secondary data uploaded from archival files; and continuously updated data from pertinent third-party providers. Each system is modular, flexible, and scalable, and designed to be customizable and interoperable with other systems. End users avoid the tedious task of preparing data for analysis and need no skills in statistical packages, geographic information systems, or other specialized software. With only a few clicks, users generate maps, tables, graphs, forecasts, and other visualization aids to improve research and decision making.
