AI-powered climate-responsive child immunization alert platform. Open source. Built for Kenya, designed for every UNICEF programme country. # ClimateShield AI **AI-Powered Climate-Responsive Child Immunization Platform** > Forecasting climate-triggered disease outbreaks 7–14 days ahead. > Alerting parents of under-vaccinated children before the outbreak peaks. ## Table of Content - The Problem - The Solution - Architecture - Repository Structure - Current Status - Tech Stack - Getting Started - Components - Related Repositories - Contributing - Built By - License ## The Problem Climate change is reshaping child disease patterns across East Africa. Flooding triggers cholera. Drought triggers meningitis. Temperature swings trigger pneumonia and malaria. These patterns are predictable — but immunization campaigns run on fixed calendars, not climate triggers. The result: outbreaks arrive before vaccination coverage is adequate. Children in under-vaccinated communities face the highest risk precisely during climate events that health systems are least prepared for. ## The Solution — 4 Components | Component | What It Does | Status | |---|---|---| | **Climate Engine** | Ingests 14-day weather forecasts for Kenyan counties via Open-Meteo API and scores outbreak risk per disease | Working | | **ML Predictor** | Forecasts outbreak probability 7–14 days ahead using climate features | In development | | **Alert Engine** | SMS/USSD reminders to parents of at-risk, under-vaccinated children | Scaffolded | | **Dashboard** | County health officer outbreak maps and vaccine demand forecast | Wireframes complete | ## Architecture ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Open-Meteo API] -->|14-day forecast| B[Climate Engine] B -->|Climate features| D[ML Outbreak Predictor] D -->|High risk flag| F[Alert Engine] F -->|Query under-vaccinated children| H[Child Immunization Tracker] H -->|At-risk child records| F F -->|SMS/USSD| I[Parents] F -->|Push alert| J[Community Health Workers] D -->|Risk scores| K[County Dashboard] K --> L[County Health Officer] ``` The Climate Engine is the only fully implemented component today. …
