Open-source AI platform mapping climate-health vulnerability for children in Uganda. Machine learning + real-time data to provide actionable alerts for frontline health workers and local governments.
# EREC THRIVE Intelligence System
**Eco Reset Edge Connect (EREC)** | Kampala, Uganda | ecoresetedge.com
> An open-source climate-health intelligence platform that translates environmental risk data into actionable alerts for frontline health workers, local governments, and communities in Uganda's most climate-vulnerable districts.

## The problem
Uganda's climate-vulnerable communities — including children in refugee settlements, urban informal settlements, and rural districts — face compounding climate and health risks with no accessible, real-time data system to guide local decision-making. Health facilities lack tools to anticipate climate-driven disease surges, and local governments operate without vulnerability data linking environmental exposure to child health outcomes.
## The solution
THRIVE monitors environmental signals across Uganda and translates them into tiered, actionable alerts for schools, health facilities, and local governments — with a distinct child-health screening layer that flags risk pathways (flooding, mosquito-borne disease, respiratory aggravation, heat stress) without overstating certainty.
The live prototype currently monitors **494 locations across 137 districts**.
## Current status (honest, as of this build)
THRIVE is a working prototype, not a finished product. We believe in being precise about what's built versus planned:
| Component | Status |
|---|---|
| Weather/heat/air-quality ingestion (Open-Meteo) | **Live** |
| Flood risk ingestion (CHIRPS v3 via ClimateSERV) | **Live** |
| Air quality connector (OpenAQ v3) | **Live** (optional, authenticated) |
| Facility vulnerability screening | **Live** — transparent weighted-formula ("screening-v1"), not yet a trained ML model |
| Rule-based alert engine (green/amber/red) | **Live**, tested |
| Child Climate Risk panel | **Live** |
| Data Health transparency view | **Live** |
| DHIS2 health-outcome integration | Coded, disabled by default — pending formal Ministry of …
