Project overview
This project aims to strengthen community-based disease surveillance through an integrated digital ecosystem comprising a Mobile Application, Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), and Web-Based Monitoring Dashboard. The platform enables community members and local institutions to report early warning signals of communicable diseases such as diarrhea, malaria, dengue, measles, and other public health events through self-reporting mechanisms. The solution facilitates real-time reporting, validation, and response by Community Health Officers (CHOs), ASHAs, ANMs, and public health authorities, ensuring timely verification and intervention. The platform supports multilingual access (English, Hindi, and Odia), automated notifications, geo-enabled monitoring, analytics dashboards, and outbreak response tracking. Implemented in selected districts of Odisha, the initiative promotes community participation, strengthens disease surveillance systems, and supports evidence-based public health decision-making through technology-enabled early detection, reporting, and response mechanisms.
Scope of work
The assignment involves the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of an integrated Community-Based Surveillance (CBS) platform comprising a Mobile Application, Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), and Web-Based Dashboard to facilitate early disease reporting, monitoring, and public health response. The scope includes development of multilingual (English, Hindi, and Odia) mobile application interfaces for community users, health providers, and administrators and establishment of a 24×7 toll-free IVRS system integrated with the application and creation of a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring, analytics, and reporting. The system will support automated notifications, reverse calling, case tracking, photo and document uploads, referral management, and outbreak response workflows. The platform incorporates real-time alerts, case management workflows, reporting and analytics, automated notifications, and decision-support features to strengthen surveillance and outbreak response mechanisms.
