Briefings

A Mozambique-based AI platform PAAD, developed by Zenysis Technologies in partnership with the Ministry of Health and supported by Gavi, is expanding to 80 districts across six provinces to improve vaccination coverage. The tool integrates data from over 10 health systems to identify high-risk zones and detect data inconsistencies, aiming to reduce the 24% of children in Mozambique who have never received routine vaccines. While coverage for the DTP3 vaccine increased from 55% in 2022 to 70% in 2023, the article notes that the technology was initially used during the 2019 Cyclone Idai response and a 2022 cholera outbreak, but specific impact metrics beyond these events remain unverified.

Key points

• The Advanced Data Analytics Platform (PAAD) developed by Zenysis Technologies is being expanded to 80 districts in Mozambique to support vaccination coverage.
• The platform integrates data from over 10 health systems to identify high-risk zones and detect data inconsistencies, targeting the 24% of children in Mozambique who have never received routine vaccines.

Context

The article reports on the expansion of the PAAD platform in Mozambique, developed by Zenysis Technologies in partnership with the Ministry of Health and supported by Gavi. The tool integrates data from over 10 health systems to identify high-risk zones and detect data inconsistencies, aiming to reduce the 24% of children in Mozambique who have never received routine vaccines. The technology was initially used during the 2019 Cyclone Idai response and a 2022 cholera outbreak, but specific impact metrics beyond these events remain unverified.

Limitations

Specific impact metrics beyond the 2019 Cyclone Idai response and 2022 cholera outbreak remain unverified. The article does not provide data on the number of children vaccinated, the total number of districts covered, or the specific outcomes of the cholera outbreak response other than the reduction in cases.
