Agni is a mobile-first software platform that supports population-scale healthcare delivery.
The name Agni is inspired by two paradigms — old and new, Eastern and Western.
The first paradigm comes from the ancient system of Ayurveda. In it, Agni represents our metabolic processes — a system that needs to be in harmony to ensure health, not just remediation of disease. This focus of wellness, not just illness, is what we hope to support with our work.
The second paradigm is contemporary — the HL7® fast health interoperability resources, or FHIR®. Pronounced “fire”, which translates to Agni in many Indian languages, FHIR specifies how to structure health data, to make it easy to comprehend and exchange. Over the past decade, it has emerged as the de facto open-source standard for health data, with a global community of developers and advocates. We have built on the work done by this community, and plan to contribute our learnings to it.
Agni is a mobile-first system that:
is designed for offline use,
is being developed for Android, iOS and web browsers,
is built on HL7® FHIR®, with out-of-the-box interoperability,
can connect with DHIS-2 and other dashboards, and
aggregates data aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The system utilizes the WHO’s PEN protocols for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. While Agni focuses on cardiac health today, it is extensible to a broad range of communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health (RMNCH).
Our aim is to provide a single app that covers 10-12 of the most common conditions that a national or regional public health program has to cover. To complement this coverage, we have designed an integrated community and primary care workflow, so that information travels quickly from the beneficiary’s doorstep to a nearby facility, and finally to the public health system.
Our vision of a digital system is one that connects all three key actors — beneficiaries, care providers, and public health agencies. To bring this vision to life, we have invested in a modular and scalable technical architecture, illustrated below.
