Leveraging Continuous Complementary Health Data Collection to Optimize Immunization Service Delivery
Continuously monitor public & private vaccine delivery using a network of citizen "data contributors," managed by a cloud platform.

Describe what you intend to do and how you'll do it in one to two sentences (required 350 Characters)
Premise Data will use our Groundtruth Platform to continuously monitor public and private vaccine delivery in Nigeria by leveraging our network of ordinary citizen "data contributors," and our intelligent cloud platform. We will partner with GAVI and the Nigerian Ministry of Health to leverage the data to optimize vaccine delivery and coverage.Explain the innovation (2,500 characters)

Which part(s) of the world does this innovation target?
- Western Africa
Geographic Focus
Premise works in 47 countries around the developing world and implements health-related programs in Kenya, Nigeria, DRC, Yemen and Colombia. We have chosen Nigeria, where we have a good MOH relationship, for the pilot but are open to almost any other country if GAVI prefers a different location.Stage of Innovation
- Early Adaption
Who will work alongside your organization in the project idea? (1,000 characters)
Premise will collaborate closely with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, GAVI, and any involved implementing partners. Our work on Zika Vector Control illustrates the typical nature of this relationship. In Colombia, Department level Health Directorates partnered with Premise to design data collection tasks and iterate on them as data flowed in. Simultaneously, we co-designed management-focused dashboards that monitor Zika outbreak risk at a neighborhood level in real-time. After 6 months of iteration and data analysis, The Health Directorate began managing all larvaciding and fumigation activities (scoped daily) based on a real-time outbreak risk model that is a function of mosquito prevalence. In addition to the Health Directorate, Premise indirectly partners with every community in the surveillance area as local residents provide the data that populates the risk model. USAID, the funder, receives a separate set of reporting and management dashboards.How is your idea unique? (750 characters)
Premise uses ordinary citizens to collect data but ensures accuracy through task structuring and machine learning. We leverage monetary incentives to ensure task completion - which results in datasets that are more complete than HMIS data and include private sector providers. Our cloud platform is continuously improved by our 30+ person engineering team. This allows us to rapidly incorporate learnings into our platform as we go. Others have addressed immunization monitoring through HMIS’s that do not reach private clinics nor have a model to ensure adequate data collection. Premise augments this traditional data to create a more complete, real-time, high frequency, and geospatial picture of immunization service delivery and outcomes.What is the name of your organization
