Currently, challenges in data collection, integration, and reporting hinder efforts to improve malaria control strategies and to enable monitoring and evaluation across many initiatives. A solution is required that can aggregate data from many different sources in many different formats then provision that data in such a way to deliver new insight and oversight; creating national malaria program intelligence that is reportable, interpretable, and leverage-able across all NMCP / PMI operations.

The aWhere Malaria Command & Control Platform improves program efficiency, enables logistics improvements, and expands nationwide malaria control operations capacity. The MCC Platform delivers fact-based insight enabled by comprehensive data collection and integration, location-based analytics, remote surveillance, and entomological monitoring to meet the objectives of malaria control efficacy plus monitoring and evaluation execution.

The Malaria Command & Control Platform is comprised of three key "Systems", each configured to the specific needs of target end users.  

	Vector Control Decision Information System - an interactive system to support logistics and operations management of IRS, ITN, larvaciding, or other intervention initiatives. Integrates IRS operations data, ITN distribution and logistics data, mosquito control data, entomologic surveillance and monitoring data, satellite-based remote surveillance data, mobile survey data collection, and predictive entomological models. Provides evidence-based reporting to monitor control activity plus tactical, predictive identification of optimal control actions (IRS, larvae control, ITN, etc.) by location and time.
	Malaria Control Program Analysis System – an analytical and reporting solution to aid in the quantitative analysis of locale-specific malaria control practices through the integration of vector control intervention data (IRS, LLIN, habitat treatments) with case data, epidemiology, and entomological data. The result is an evidence-based monitoring and evaluation system providing insight to evaluate and determine optimal control methods and control combinations by time and location.
	National Malaria Risk Mapping System – an analytical and reporting solution to aid in the development, monitoring, and evaluation of country-wide IVM strategies. The result is an evidence-based monitoring and evaluation system providing dynamic, interactive analysis, reporting, and insight across the total malaria risk profile and NMCP/PMI initiatives.

 

Many Sources of Data - One Common Platform

The aWhere Malaria Command & Control Platform transforms complex data from many sources into actionable insight through comprehensive data collection, data integration, and location intelligence technologies. This location-based approach enables NMCP/PMI programs to uncover the actionable insights buried in local databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets, and third party sources. The platform developed by aWhere provides information rich, interactive applications, visualizations and reports that enable all users to interact with data, conduct analysis, and derive results with minimal training.

A Complete Data Management & Location Intelligence Solution

Each Malaria Command and Control solution is developed on the aWhere location intelligence technology platform; a highly scalable, cloud-based computing and data management environment that provides spatial and temporal data integration and processing, data storage, complex predictive analytics models (entomological and statistical), remote surveillance (satellite), mobile survey extensions, and multiple end-user applications. To meet the key demands of any national malaria control program the overall Malaria Command & Control Platform provides six core functions:

 

	Data Collection		Collection includes acquiring and applying data from multiple sources in multiple formats such as existing client databases (silos of data), 3rd party data, manual data uploads from end-users and administrators, mobile survey data, satellite-based remote surveillance, and more.
	Data Integration		The Platform is purpose built to integrate many disparate data sources and data types by each data set’s most detailed attributes of time and location.  This capability enables any user to view and analyze data at any level of aggregation; household, habitat site, village, area, county, district, country, global.
	Reporting		The Platform specializes in moving beyond just reporting data, to providing rapid and easy interpretation of complex data using numerous interactive, visualization methods; tables, graphs, charts, and dynamic maps providing on-demand information by point in time, change over time, or current status at location-specific levels or any level of aggregation.
	Analysis		Beyond just reporting, the Platform incorporates numerous statistical methods to derive and present new quantifiable insight from the integration of all available causal data; determine cause, analyze relationships, and gain new insight.
	Predictive Modeling		Entomological, pathognomonic, and economic predictive models provide advanced views of potential outcomes based on current status or conditions.
	Monitoring & Alerts		Command & control from facts – automated monitoring and alerting to understand status against objectives, gain new insight, and recognize new opportunities at local, regional and national levels.
