About the Project

Our Atipan Project is a digital health program in partnership  with 10 underserved vulnerable indigenous and rural low-income communities in Western Visayas.

Inspired by the Hiligaynon word atipan which means "to take care of" and the 7 Ati communities we are proud to be working with and for, we provide free medical teleconsultations, as well as  technology and training for 23 community health workers, along with basic medication and health kits.

We stand on the foundation of a decade-long relationship of trust established by the University of San Agustin with each community. Led by its Center for Informatics and its expertise in Data Science, we apply an intersectional approach that is responsive to the urgent needs of our partner communities.

More About Atipan Project
We prepared this toolkit to assist local governments, private organizations and health decision-makers across the Philippines in their response to CoViD-19. It currently consists  of guidelines, recommendations, data, estimation tools and support, and informatics tools for contact tracing and monitoring. We believe these tools may help users tailor their response according to how the epidemic behaves in their communities.

Poison Control Network
Toxicology Information System

The Poison Control Network (PCN) is developing an information system, Toxicology Information System (TIS), which aims to interoperate the operations of thirteen (13) poison control centers in the Philippines in order to improve the quality, monitoring, outcome, safety, and/or effectiveness of poison control and treatment of poisoning cases. The system is accessible to authorized persons 24/7 with appropriate data sharing functionalities (care team, public dashboard, and research portal) while maintaining patient data privacy and security. ​​
More About PCN-TIS
Research demonstrates that when information and communication technology (ICT) is used as an enabling tool for dementia care, it can facilitate the social inclusion of this population, their needs being addressed more properly [1][2]. We formed a consortium with researchers from Turkey and Indonesia to respond to the 6th Joint Funding Scheme (JFS) call, with Turkey offering the use of their Alz-e-Med technology (see image below) for dementia care in the Philippines. Alz-e-Med, developed by the BYSGrup Consulting services in collaboration with Istanbul University and Ankara University, is an e-care tool designed to assist patients with Alzheimer's Disease and their caregivers. No such device or anything similar is currently in use in the Philippines.
