Digital Health

EGPAF proudly partners with Ministries of Health (MOHs) across Africa to design, develop, deploy, and maintain national health information ecosystems, to achieve strategic data use. Our approach blends our technical expertise in the delivery of health services with our capabilities in digital health, to ensure that tools and approaches serve to strengthen national data systems for the improvement of patient health services.

Why Digital Health

Our experience shows that leveraging data to drive quality patient care and improve program efficiency will be key to reaching and sustaining HIV epidemic control.

Improve health outcomes and enhance efficiencies for services in resource-constrained environments.

Provide a more holistic view of patient health and allow patients to have more control over the services they receive.

Drive better health equity by shining a light on the needs of marginalized populations and ensure their equal access to care.

Our Unique Approach

EGPAF-supported EMR systems offer nation-wide coverage, clinical decision support, multi-disease and clinic/hospital-wide points-of-contact coverage, unique patient identification, data quality assurance applications, data transmission and aggregation at comprehensive central data repositories, and a one-stop-shop data analytic platform.

Most EMR systems are designed only as data collection tools.

But our EMR systems are designed to assist clinician decision-making.

Most EMRs mimic a register or “mastercard” and are simply an e-replication of paper forms.

But our EMR is based on clinical guidelines and algorithms.

Working with Ministries of Health across Africa, EGPAF builds sustainable technology solutions to advance precision health care.

Clinic-wide HIS and use of EMR systems

EGPAF develops and supports clinic- and hospital-wide information systems linked to electronic medical records (EMR) that are integrated and interoperable across health programs, labs, pharmacies, and payment systems.

Interoperable Systems

EGPAF ensures integration and interoperability of systems and modules for improved patient care, and seamless exchange of information from the patient, community, and facility.

Data Lakes and Big Data

EGPAF managed Data Lakes aggregate and manage data, including collection, consolidation, processing, storage, modeling, and data visualization, enabling MOH program managers to discover useful insights to guide decision-making.

Health Informatics

EGPAF dashboards and health informatics tools help country leaders map out existing resources and gaps, to more accurately respond to client needs and to triangulate data from multiple sources to drive policy and resource allocation.

Digital Tools for Patients and Providers

EGPAF develops and adapts a wide range of SMS tools and mobile applications to help providers support patients in tracking their own healthcare, interact more seamlessly with the health system, and access information.

AI and Machine Learning

EGPAF is harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to provide improved care to the people who need it most, leveraging the vast platform of data within EMR systems and national data repositories.

Scaling HIS Infrastructure

EGPAF works closely with MOHs to train and support MOH infrastructure teams to design, deploy, and maintain all infrastructure required for National Health Information Systems.

Partnerships and Investment

EGPAF partners with a variety of technology companies that offer solutions to advance our vision for digital health use in the HIV space, and that provide value to MOHs, in keeping with their program needs.
