Community participation is critical to detecting unusual health events before they develop into public health crises. Through MSH’s electronic Community Event-Based Surveillance (eCEBS) system, communities are engaged in identifying and stopping outbreaks at their source, which can lessen the impact on the community and decrease negative health outcomes.

GINA System enables its users to navigate through difficult terrain, coordinate teams and exchange information effectively directly in the field based on GSM or Satellite Iridium connection.

and with content that becomes available to participants during the exercise. With a simple unhide action, or by starting advanced storyline events, these instructors control duriong the exercise when this information becomes available. Of course, instructors and role-players can also add new messages and visualsduring the conduct of the exercise. Furthermore, exercise staff have full control over the advancement of time during the exercise (e.g. pause or fast-forward).

Instructors set which participants have access to which media. Thereby simulating a difference in information positions between participants (e.g. Police has more information available only to them). Using these media, participants should anaylse the information available to them and use these channels to communicate with each other and to the outside world.

Within the costructed environment training and analysis are based on the fulfiling tasks in real-like conditions, using appropriate methods and tools, observing the consequences of one’s decisions and trying to assess the undertaken actions. Due to the high degree of repeatability and interactive features of training and analysis within the PROCeed system, it is possible to significantly reduce costs and increase effectiveness of the coaching process. In addition, this type of training and analysis can be provided more often and may consider wider range of possible options.

forms in a very bandwidth efficient manner. Specifically, it can communicate photos and video with 99% bandwidth reduction, enabling communication even through low bandwidth cellular and mobile satellite communication networks while maintaining full precision and accuracy.

ASIGN is comprised of the ASIGN Server, a cloud-based platform from which the incoming information is managed, plus the field user applications ASIGN PRO and UAV-ASIGN, which collect and send information from the field to the Server, all with end-to-end encryption. Photos and videos sent through the ASIGN field user applications arrive up to 100x faster at their destination, enabling a better-informed and swifter decision-making process and subsequent action.

The main ASIGN PRO and ASIGN Server capabilities include:

• Reliable communication of highest precision geo-spatial photo and video content even in low-bandwidth situations.
• 'Details by demand' methodology allows for full-precision data while focusing network resources on sending operationally relevant content.
• Professional camera and 360 video camera integration.
• Increased field team coordination through ‘live mission stream’ function, enabling team members to view what their team members are contributing.
• Tracking function and geo-zone alert abilities for increased coordination and user safety
• The creation and dissemination of customized Assessment Forms and collaborative reports, as well as the exporting of the collected data
• A common operational picture, with a powerful backend system with user / mission management capabilities.
• Classification and categorisation capabilities for better data management and analysis

ASIGN’s functions have been specifically developed to target the speed and efficiency of time-critical data collection, communication and development of situational understanding in order to reduce

mHero is a two-way, mobile phone-based communication system that connects ministries of health and health workers. It uses data from existing local health information systems to deliver messages via locally popular communication channels. It reduces the barriers that can exist between health workers and their support systems, playing a critical role in ensuring effective and efficient responses, particularly in a

• Build capacity and provide support to health workers, to give them the information, skills, and encouragement to deliver quality health services.

 standards for health information exchange (FHIR). This means it it can help platforms speak in a common language with each other and easily share data.

IntraHealth International and UNICEF created mHero in August 2014 to support health-sector communication during the Ebola outbreak in Liberia (Read more about mHero's origin story). The original version of mHero connected Liberia's health workforce information system, iHRIS, with RapidPro, a platform that delivers basic text and audio messages. The use of RapidPro made it possible to reach most Liberian frontline health workers who, at the time, had only basic mobile phones.

Since the end of the Ebola crisis, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Liberia has integrated the platform into its health information system infrastructure to meet ongoing communication needs for a variety of health services. Sierra Leone and Senegal have also implemented mHero.

The technology behind mHero has also evolved since the initial deployment in Liberia. Advancements in technology along with differing conditions and needs in other countries inspired IntraHealth to make mHero more interoperable. Now it can work with other communication platforms and any health information systems compliant with the global OpenHIE principles for health information exchange. Read more about the technology behind mHero.

mHero’s origin and ongoing use and development illustrates how the platform is flexible, scalable, and sustainable by governments in low- and middle-income countries.

in conjunction with ranger and disposable 2,4 m C-band antennas. A waterproof modem has been directly mounted on the antennas to keep the RF-cable length at a minimum. As a result, the included 12 m network cables can be used to place the NoSaCo® Rack under shelter, while the modem and antenna remain outside. The deployment kit offers high performance twoway communications providing up to 8 Mbps bandwidth (based on beam setup) for data, video and voice transmission.

The terminal is pre-configured and offers “out-of-the-box” network, security, quality of services and access control. It has been developed to allow fast and user-friendly on-site installation. The components arranged therein have been selected with focus on reliability and durability. NoSaCo® Rack uses a revolutionary design able to resist shocks and adverse temperature conditions (0-50°C), optimized for transport and shipping.

The terminal is integrated with a community-based, field-proven mission critical information system Pulse™ Core. Complemented with the mobile application Pulse™ Reporter, Pulse™ EcoSystem allows reliable and secure sharing of commands, positions, visual and sensor data during a mission.
