Context

Programme context

USHAS focuses on people who arrive at hospital emergency departments in urban Karnataka after self-harm or a suicide attempt. As part of N-SPRITE's prevention work, it looks at how their needs are recognised and how care continues after the first treatment. The study is supported by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka.

Delivery

Datalk's contribution

Datalk built the mobile app and the analysis platform that goes with it. We also delivered the infrastructure and backend that connect the two, and supported the team while the system was in use.

The research platform Datalk built for USHAS.

Scope delivered

  1. Mobile application

    Built the app that captures the information the project needs.

  2. Analysis platform

    Built the environment where the project's information is analysed.

  3. Infrastructure and backend

    Set up the technical foundation behind the applications and the data.

  4. Operational support

    Gave the team technical help throughout the live period.

What this experience demonstrates

USHAS brings the mobile app and the analysis platform together in one project environment. Our role ran from laying the technical foundation to supporting both while the research was under way.
