Precision Action Towards Climate and Health (PATCH)
summary
A digital platform that fuses environmental, participatory and media surveillance into actionable government alerts and local guidance, already deployed in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Meghalaya and Tabaco City, Philippines. Built components include wastewater surveillance that predicts COVID a week early, a 67‑indicator GIS flood and vulnerability model and an event‑scraping pipeline that cuts media review from a week to about an hour. Field rollout uses 50+ sampling sites covering ~86–90% of mapped city populations; main gaps are hyperlocal GIS resolution and data interoperability.
