Oklahoma DOH replaces public health surveillance system with Conduent’s platform
Digital business and services company Conduent has been selected by the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) to replace its legacy public health surveillance system with Conduent’s Maven disease surveillance and outbreak management system.
The cloud-based platform will enable OSDH to detect, monitor, track and report public health threats and infectious disease outbreaks, transforming data into actionable insights to protect Oklahomans.
According to the company, Maven is backed by a team of epidemiologists and is utilized across 28 government agencies in the United States, Europe and Australia to manage emerging threats to their residents.
Maven is a configurable, web-based platform that permits real-time monitoring and reporting to local, state and national public health organizations.
Organizations utilize Maven to keep an eye on deadly outbreaks like COVID-19, C. auris and Mpox as well as more than 100 other communicable and non-communicable diseases like Ebola, Zika, measles, tuberculosis, HIV/STDs and influenza.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Oklahoma State Department of Health to support their mission of protecting and promoting the good health of people across the state,” Anna Sever, president of government solutions at Conduent, said in a statement.
“Our advanced, AI-enabled technology platform gives public health teams the transparency, security and responsiveness needed to stay ahead of disease outbreaks now and in the future.”
