The context

World Health Organization monitors outbreaks and potential high risk situations all around the world in order to assist governments and private and public organizations to deliver an effective response to epidemics, natural disasters or general healthcare emergencies. WHO’s primary role is to direct and coordinate international health within the United Nations system. The organisation has 7000 people working in 150 countries. Relief Applications’ goal in this project is to strengthen their Emergency Management System to coordinate international action, able to work in any environment, including areas with limited connection availability in the field. We have designed the Application Builder to enable WHO to create applications for emergency information management. The Application Builder is about managing data: how to collect, manage and visualize data in a simple, intuitive way, supporting your workflow without the need for advanced software development skills.
