Pulilab is a formal vendor to UNICEF and an official partner of Digital Square. Pulilab has since 2011 completed more than 30+ engagements for multiple United Nations agencies and other organizations such as WHO, The World Bank, and PATH.
PATH is a Washington non-profit whose mission is to improve the health of people around the world by advancing technologies, strengthening systems and encouraging healthy behaviors.
PATH’s Toolkit serves to empower countries to enhance immunization and overall health service delivery through improved data collection, quality and use.
Pulilab was tasked with building a web-based implementation Toolkit on Digital Strategies for Health System Strengthening.
The toolkit is designed to guide decision makers in all fields and levels to plan, deploy and evaluate the efficacy of digital health strategies.

World Health Organization currently uses a booklet toolkit called MAPS Toolkit (more about the MAPS Toolkit here), which is used in-field by project-owners to identify and track progress on development projects in Africa. Currently this is completely an analog process where the authors go through a book and update its values. Occasionally the booklet is submitted for evaluation.
Pulilab has been tasked with converting this process into a web-application that can handle the same complexity as the booklet, using internet and all of the advantages that comes with it.
The Pulilab team has built a complete platform from scratch that imitates how the project-owners were tracking their progress. Simultaneously they can immediately compare data, get real-time dashboard notifications on their performance, share tips with other project-owners, and connect with financial donors who can follow their progress immediately.

UNICEF has an interest in the ability to reach out to and get feedback from as many people at once via mobile phone technology.
An example use case may be in the instance of a flood or fire in a largely populated area. In order to have as much data as possible on how to direct emergency help, UNICEF sends a mass-sms to hundreds of thousands of people at the same time asking a simple line of questions (i.e. Do you have water? yes/no). Depending on the feedback, a follow up question could be sent (i.e. asking about the number of people). Based on the processed answers, UNICEF can take appropriate action.
UNICEF has co-developed a product called RapidPro that solves this scenario using SMS technology, yet SMS is “state less”, slow and it’s expensive to run a campaign. UNICEF needed to integrate a new technology that is state-full, fast, and works on every mobile phone and has awarded Pulilab with the task of solving this challenge.
Pulilab is upgrading RapidPro with a messaging technology called USSD that makes the product “state full” and allowing for faster feedback. Pulilab is in charge of the technical architecture, UX design and the implementation.
