February 2025 Webinar

Building Georegistries Through Health Campaigns Planning
Presented by: Martin De Wulf, CTO, Bluesquare

Abstract:
In this webinar, I would present how Bluesquare, a Belgian company, is using the preparation of national health campaigns in subsaharan Africa to populate a GIS with the list of all facilities of the country (the talk will focus on Cameroon). This dataset is then made available for continuous updates through a mobile application and becomes a living health map of the country. The underlying software is the open source solution called IASO (www.openiaso.com) and is now commonly used to implement such a georegistry. In a sense, it has similarities with OpenStreetMap, but with data validation controlled by a government.

Date: Wednesday, February 19th, 2025
