BharathiExchange — Bharat Health Information Exchange Request a Demo

Spotting outbreaks earlier with district-level surveillance signals

How de-identified lab and admission data from connected facilities can give public health teams an earlier view of rising fever and respiratory cases.

This is an illustrative scenario showing how the platform is designed to work.

Public health teams usually learn about a surge in cases after weekly reports are compiled. A connected exchange can shorten that delay.

How it works

  1. Connected hospitals and labs send admissions and test results to the exchange as part of routine care.
  2. A surveillance feed strips personal identifiers and aggregates counts by district, age band and syndrome (for example, fever with rash, or acute respiratory illness).
  3. Statistical baselines flag unusual rises, and district officers see the signal on a dashboard alongside the underlying trend.

Guardrails

  • Only de-identified, aggregated data leaves the clinical record
  • Thresholds and case definitions are set by the public health programme
  • Alerts support, but don't replace, established reporting procedures
