Shine OS+, an electronic medical record and referral system initiated by PLDT’s mobile unit Smart Communications, has been adapted in Nepal as a tool for disaster risk reduction. Shine OS+ Nepal was developed as a post-disaster surveillance system in 2015. Now called EpiNurse or Epidemiology + Nursing for Disaster Risk Reduction, the program will serve as a public health emergency reduction tool for the country. The program aims to prevent disease outbreaks and mitigate disaster risk.
EpiNurse will be powered by Shine OS+ in developing three applications that will allow EpiNurses to collect data at the school and community levels for preparedness, as well as surveillance data during and post-disaster.
Shine OS+ is also available as a mobile app for Android and iOS devices to assist health workers on the field.
