Senegal | Public health | Health information systems
The École Polytechnique de Thiès is creating a comprehensive data collection system to support epidemiological decision-making. This initiative will gather and analyze relevant health data, including disease incidence, vaccination rates, and environmental factors, allowing healthcare professionals and policymakers to make informed decisions in real-time. The project will also develop a multilingual chatbot, in French and Wolof (Senegal’s first two languages), that will ultimately serve as an intelligent search engine. This chatbot will be accessible to health professionals as well as ordinary citizens wishing to access reliable, secure, accurate and credible information on a given disease.
