CHAP (Climate Health Analytics Platform) is a collaborative and open platform for harmonizing climate and health data, as well as importing, training, tuning, assessing, and sharing predictive models for climate-informed disease forecasting. It includes streamlined integration with the DHIS2 system for accessing health data and disseminating forecasts, but is also fully functional as a stand-alone platform. The project started March 2024, supported by a potentially 8-year Wellcome grant.
CHAP was initiated and is coordinated by the HISP network, but is organised as a collaborative project where we invite contributions by everyone interested in joint development of data processing, machine learning and software to advance the field of climate and health analytics.
We strive to make all parts of the project development open and transparent, so as to make it as easy as possible to join the CHAP community.
If you are interested in joining this effort, there are several options:
- If you mainly want to get updates and news about what is happening, please join our CHAP email list
- If you want to contribute with code development or model development, a good place to start is the chap-core github repository. Please read the documentation before reaching out to us with questions, and feel free to look into any of the open issues (TODOs). We are happy to take code contributions related to these. Use the Github issues system for inquiries. For developers interested in front-end development, the chap dasboard repository might be more relevant as a starting-point.
- For any other inquiries, please send us an email, or consult the multitude of open resources connected to the project below.
Please consult the open-source CHAP codebase and the CHAP documentation for guidance on how to install and use CHAP.
To integrate CHAP with the DHIS2 system, we have developed the DHIS2 Climate App and the DHIS2 Prediction App.
Learn how to interact with CHAP Core using the Prediction App.
- Please consult the motivations for CHAP to better understand the motivations, ambitions and current features of CHAP.
- For an even broader viewpoint, please consult the description of the DHIS2 for Climate & Health project for strengthening climate-resilient health systems.
- To understand where CHAP is going, please consult (and get involved with) our fully open development plans for the weeks ahead, our [roadmap ahead](roadmap ahead) or join our CHAP email list for technical announcements, invitations to webinars, and other project updates.
- If you are interested in academic research related to CHAP, we also share openly several more or less developed manuscript ideas that we invite you to join.
We are happy to help - feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding how to use or contribute to CHAP:
- Please join the discussion in the CHAP community of practice.
- If you have any issue with CHAP codebase, please submit a github issue and we will jump on it.
- For any other questions, including collaboration requests or similar, please send us an email
