Current GHI Projects

HITSystem

The HITSystem is designed to support HIV-positive mothers and their infants by improving retention in prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs, ensuring maternal viral suppression, and facilitating timely infant testing. Its innovation lies in electronic tracking and reminders that close gaps in HIV care, reducing transmission and strengthening continuity of care.

CATSystem

The CATSystem focuses on women at risk of or living with cervical cancer, particularly in low-resource settings. By providing a comprehensive electronic medical records platform for cancer research data, it enhances data collection, storage, analysis, and reporting, thereby improving research quality and supporting evidence-based interventions. Its adaptability across institutions makes it a vital tool for collaborative cancer research globally.

CTS

The CTS (Covid Tracking System) serves communities affected by COVID-19, especially those with limited access to healthcare. It tracks pandemic-related data to guide response and recovery efforts, offering structured information for public health decision-making. Its tailored design for a rapidly evolving crisis highlights its innovation and importance in strengthening pandemic monitoring and recovery.
