Reveal is an open-source digital platform and approved “Global Good” that provides real-time alignment of spatial targets with health service field operations and currently supports malaria and neglected tropical disease interventions in five countries. Reveal combines a web-based tool that facilitates detailed planning by field managers and a mobile tool that guides front-line health workers through highly interactive, self-navigating digital maps down to the household level. In 2018, the Reveal software suite migrated to a new stack to better meet long term goals for sustainability, configurability, and interoperability. However, the focus of 2018 and 2019 was to support new implementations, so less time was spent on sustainability-focused development efforts. (See Appendix A for a one-pager overview of Reveal).

The overarching goal of this project is to lower the barrier of entry to setting up the Reveal system. When evaluating Reveal against the Global Goods Maturity Model (GGMM) and OpenHIE standards for off-the-shelf tools, five thematic gaps emerged. Our specific goals for this investment will be to close these gaps by 1) Broadly engaging the public in roadmapping, 2) Building technical documentation, 3) Achieving OpenHIE architecture for packaging and deployment, 4) Executing load testing, and 5) Demonstrating compliance with OpenHIE interoperability workflows and standards. The activities to achieve these goals involve documentation, code-writing and software development, QA and testing, and community engagement; all of which fall under the role of product management and development, the roles Akros and its development partners play respectively already with this product The overarching goal of this project is to lower the barrier of entry to setting up the Reveal system.
