Climate-Driven Health Emergency Management and Warning Systems for Mountain Regions

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine having a weather app that doesn't just tell you it will rain, but warns hospitals exactly how many extra patients to expect due to a heatwave. This project builds a digital safety net for mountain towns to spot health risks early and organize staff efficiently. It's like a playbook for clinics to stay operational when extreme weather hits.

The business problem

What needed solving

Health systems in mountain regions lack the tools to predict and manage the surge in patients caused by climate-related emergencies, leading to staff burnout and system failure.

The solution

What was built

A suite of 11 solutions including health impact models, monitoring tools, short-term warning systems, an emergency staff management tool, and professional training courses.
