Bringing Intelligence, Navigation, and Data for Emergency Response (BINDER)

Bringing Intelligence, Navigation, and Data for Emergency Response (BINDER)

BINDER ( Bringing Intelligence, Navigation, and Data for Emergency Response) is an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled public health assistant for short-staffed state and local public health officers and emergency managers to support decision-making during health crises.

Project Highlights

BINDER uses AI to equip state and local public health and healthcare decision-makers (eg, health officers, emergency managers, etc.) with rapid, easily accessible, synthesized, and actionable information to support interventions during health crises. Currently, this information lives in a multitude of playbooks, toolkits, communications files, and after-action reports, but is not available in a format for rapid digestion and decision-making, nor is it customizable to support locally relevant responses. At a time of shrinking workforce, budgets, and infrastructure, having information distilled into its most action-oriented form during a crisis has never been more important. Additionally, aggregation across public health and healthcare preparedness information, findings, and guidance will help better facilitate collaboration and de-siloing of the current operations between the fields.
