We build the data systems public health runs on.
UAPÉ is a team of epidemiologists, statisticians and software engineers. From field collection to national surveillance and the situation room, we design, build and operate the infrastructure behind outbreak detection and response.
Public health has plenty of data. What it lacks is the engineering between the field and the decision.
Records are collected in one system, cleaned in another and reported from a spreadsheet. We close that gap, so a case entered in the field reaches the people deciding on a response while it still matters.
- Epidemiological rigor
- Built by people who understand R₀ as well as API latency. Case definitions, denominators and reporting delays are design inputs, not afterthoughts.
- Data sovereignty
- Compliant with national health-data governance and GDPR. Your data stays within your borders and under your control.
- Rapid deployment
- From zero to operational surveillance in days, not months, for the moments when hours count.
Systems we build on
| System | What we do with it |
|---|---|
| DHIS2 | Health information systems at national scale. Custom modules for aggregate and tracker data. |
| Go.Data | Contact tracing and outbreak investigation, with transmission-chain visualization for field epidemiology. |
| ODK | Offline-first mobile data collection: complex form logic, geospatial data and automated ETL pipelines. |
| EWARS / EIOS | Early warning, alert and response. Signal detection from unstructured open-source intelligence. |
| Dashboards | Visualization built on React and D3. Real-time situational awareness for emergency operations centers. |
| Interoperability | FHIR-compliant integration that connects EMRs, laboratories and logistics into one data lake. |
How we build
- Resilient by design
- Architectures that hold up under demand spikes and field failures.
- Short path from collection to analysis
- Data models and pipelines that remove the friction between the two.
- Open standards first
- Native integration with global health ecosystems.
- Built for decisions
- Analysis layers measured by response time, not chart count.
- Modular
- Replaceable components with low coupling, so one change does not mean a rebuild.
- Early warning
- Signals and alerts with visualizations designed for vigilance.
Engineers, epidemiologists and statisticians on one team
UAPÉ is not a software agency that learned public health. It is a task force of software engineers, epidemiologists and statisticians, led by PhDs and specialists with more than 20 years at the highest levels of global health, including seats at the tables of the world's leading international health organizations.
We understand disease transmission, the sensitivity of demographic data and the urgency of a response. The systems we build have to be both technically sound and epidemiologically correct.
