Data, Standards & Systems
Policies
Trust is our most important currency. This document outlines our governance framework:
- Data Sovereignty: Ensuring that health data collected belongs to the individuals and the national health system.
- Consent Frameworks: Dynamic consent models for mothers participating in digital health programs.
- Ethical AI Use: Guidelines on how we use predictive analytics to identify high-risk pregnancies without bias.
Systems
An overview of the Amakomaya technical architecture:
- Cloud-Hybrid Infrastructure: Scalable backend systems designed to handle thousands of concurrent health worker updates.
- Offline-First Sync: Detailed logic on how mobile clients store data locally and sync securely once a connection is established in remote areas.
- Security Protocols: End-to-end encryption for all Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Open Data
Amakomaya contributes to the global research commons:
- Anonymized Datasets: Making non-identifiable maternal health trends available for public health researchers.
- API Access: Open endpoints for authorized health partners to pull real-time maternal mortality indicators and immunization gaps.
- Visualizations: Interactive maps and charts showing the impact of digital interventions across different provinces.
Standards
FHIR
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. We adopt the HL7 FHIR standard to ensure that maternal health records are portable. This allows a mother's digital history to move seamlessly between rural clinics and major hospitals.
ICD
International Classification of Diseases. All medical conditions, complications, and causes of maternal/neonatal mortality are coded using the latest ICD-11 standards. This ensures our data is globally comparable and ready for WHO reporting.
SNOMED
Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine. We use SNOMED CT for clinical terminology. This provides a consistent way to index, store, and retrieve clinical data across different languages and healthcare settings, reducing the risk of medical error during handovers.
