We strongly believe in the open-source software model, it helps to put empowerment and sustainability at the heart of the software solutions we advocate and design. By helping to nurture and build talent, the Foundation is focused on self-sufficiency through the development of in-country capability.

AoS Health is a joint initiative founded by eSHIFT Partner Network, Blue Frontier IT Ltd and The Software for Health Foundation. Our aim is to engineer, integrate, and deliver digital health services and technologies for sustained impact and improved health outcomes.

The goals of the AoS initiative are as follows:

AoS Health Philosophy

As part of this initiative, we are applying the following principals to major disease verticals that are of global concern. We have established a central catalogue of vertical solutions, components and services (which include the software products, services and infrastructure).

The health verticals include:

Services not products

AoS is addressing the technology gap through continued development of its reusable standardised verticals applications and supporting digital infrastructure.

AoS addresses the data quality issue through systematic loading of historical data, continuous development of data quality and cleansing tools. For AMR our ambition is to establish a network of national AMR surveillance nodes capable of AMR data federation. AoS places interoperability at the heart of our designs in order to work with a country's existing technology and to allow access to the diverse range of data sources required, bringing standardisation to the resultant dataset.

Partnerships not pilots 

To address sustainability AoS seeks to establish longer term partnerships with all our benefactors and build capacity, in-country, to allow stable long-term operations and adoption of the AMR services. One Health AMR and connected TB data management services are inevitably complex and our solutions employ the very latest technologies. We recognise that development and retention of capacity, in terms of skills, experience and the confidence to manage complex digital services, can take a long time to develop and depends on the level of the ICT maturity of a given country. The AoS approach therefore is to understand the absorptive capacity of a country, to take on the full operations of such systems, and to engage over the required period (typically years rather than months) to guide stakeholders on a ‘path to self-sufficiency’.

Project Framework for Implementations

The AoS projects follow our Project Framework, which has been developed to provide a clear and repeatable structure for AoS implementations. The framework covers the complete project process, from the initial project set-up phases, through the active project and into the sustainability period following project closure. The Framework is user centric and is continuously evolving based on user feedback and retrospectives.

Maximising the impact of AMR data

Mobilisation of reliable and actionable One Health data underpins all the key responses to growing rising AMR. Making data accessible at all levels, from the facility through to global networks, is essential in achieving successful long-term interventions, measuring impact and unlocking the full benefit of AMR data.

Our systems are proven to gather data from diverse sources spanning, human and animal health, tripartite study data and AMU/AMC, and are positioned to work with climate data and more. We are helping countries improve data quality, increase standardisation and build the disciplines and capacity needed, for sustained delivery of data analytics and decision making. Our contributions to innovations in federated networking for AMR data, paves the way for open science and FAIR data access.

Through ongoing fund raising we plan to achieve widespread adoption of our systems to more countries, ensuring that data from LMIC’s, contributes to the global picture, delivering benefits for all.
