Through the MOA and a joint project called Abizo Connected Platform, the two departments seek to intensify their data sharing to better help Dengvaxia vaccinees and their parents or guardians.

Under this project, Indra Philippines Inc. will develop the register, serve, validate, plan or RSVP system while Galileo Software Services will create the Dengue vaccine monitoring system. Both systems will comprise the Abizo mobile application.

The platform provides three main services – instant reporting system (IReS), community engagement (Engage) and personal emergency assistance system (PEAS).

IReS allows parents to send regular reports of symptoms and general health condition of Dengvaxia vaccinees to DepEd and DOH while Engage allows parents to receive direct advisories and surveys from the two agencies.

The PEAS can be used to send an emergency alert to concerned government agencies and to possibly call for an ambulance.

DepEd Undersecretary Alain Del Pascua said the apps can be downloaded by parents, guardians and teachers on their mobile phones so they can easily report the conditions of Dengvaxia vaccinees.

“For example, redness or swelling of the injection side, headache, pain, etc…if they have registered in the app, they can report such number of learners in such places have suffered such symptoms in such date and time,” he said.

Stressing that the mobile apps introduce a digital and real-time monitoring, Pascua said it could be expanded to cover or monitor other students inflicted with other diseases.

Downloadable from Android Play Store and Apple store, the Abizo mobile app systems are set to be launched in August.
