Accelerating Equitable Vaccine Coverage through Digital Innovation and Artificial Intelligence
In sub-Saharan Africa, vaccination is crucial for child survival and health system resilience, yet territorial disparities and unequal access persist. Compounding these issues is a dangerous “operational disconnect” driven by outdated planning methods:
As governments increasingly invest in digital transformation, it is essential that these innovations serve the goal of equity. Digital solutions and artificial intelligence offer a unique opportunity to bridge these gaps—making vaccination more targeted, efficient, and inclusive through improved data analysis and strategic planning.
Vacci360 is a digital decision-support platform designed to automate and optimize vaccination micro-planning activities. Rather than replacing existing national processes, Vacci360 serves as a complementary analytical layer that integrates with national health information systems (such as DHIS2). Our core objectives are:
Turn complex health and geographic data into faster, more coherent operational decisions anchored in field reality.
Reach zero-dose children and mobile communities through precise, data-driven planning and dynamic tracking.
Balance maximum vaccination coverage against minimum operational cost through realistic, automated scenario planning.
The Vacci360 approach is built on a pragmatic integration of three core pillars
Factoring in real-world geographic constraints, such as travel distances and seasonal accessibility, to define accurate service areas.
Leveraging and cross-referencing existing national health information systems with broader environmental datasets on mobility, infrastructure, and climate.
Utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to synthesize complex data and simulate realistic scenarios, empowering human-led arbitration.
We map real-world geographic constraints by integrating various travel modes and seasonal changes. This helps health systems analyze accessibility and identify communities that are frequently bypassed or remain unmapped.
We cross-reference traditional health data with environmental and mobility insights. By utilizing innovative proxies, such as pastoral mobility patterns, the platform can detect human presence and identify targeted vaccination opportunities for nomadic or highly mobile communities.
The platform automates the generation of realistic, actionable operational plans. It empowers health planners to easily simulate various scenarios, ensuring an optimal balance between maximum coverag
Leveraging AI as an intuitive tool, we provide a conversational assistant that allows users to query complex datasets in plain language. This simplifies data interaction, helps verify plan feasibility, and guides strategic health investments.
The generation of realistic, automated vaccination plans anchored in precise field data, geographic realities, and community feedback, effectively reducing the administrative burden on health workers.
Measurable improvements in vaccination rates across target regions, directly impacting zero-dose children and historically marginalized mobile populations.
Maximized health impact and operational efficiency by simulating various deployment scenarios to perfectly balance maximum coverage with minimum cost.
Building local confidence and participation through highly targeted, ethically managed interventions.
The long-term institutionalization of digital innovations within existing national health strategies and monitoring systems, such as DHIS2, to strengthen overall public health infrastructure.
The creation of a highly adaptable, replicable model for digital health innovation that can be seamlessly scaled and deployed across diverse contexts in West and Central Africa.
Vacci360 is a digital decision-support platform that automates and optimizes vaccination micro-planning — acting as a complementary analytical layer on top of DHIS2, turning data into faster, more equitable operational decisions.
