🦠 VectorZero

Predictive Pathogen Containment Grid

The world's first AI-powered epidemiological intelligence platform that detects disease outbreaks 72 hours before traditional surveillance — using voice symptom reports, Neo4j graph clustering, and autonomous alert cascades.

🚨 The Problem

"India's disease surveillance system is a paper-based time bomb. By the time an outbreak is detected, it's already 2-3 weeks old."

India's Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) relies on manual paper forms submitted weekly by health workers at Primary Health Centres. Reports travel through block → district → state → national pipelines. By the time data reaches decision-makers, the outbreak has already spread.

The Hard Numbers:

Statistic	Value	Source
Average outbreak detection delay	18 days	WHO India 2024
Cholera outbreak in Odisha (2024) — undetected	18 days	IDSP Audit
Hospitalized due to delayed detection	243 people	State Health Dept
Deaths from delayed response	12	State Health Dept
Health workers filing paper forms weekly	1.2 million	IDSP Census
Indian languages with no health surveillance tools	18 of 22	NHA Report

---

💡 The Solution

VectorZero replaces the entire paper-based pipeline with a voice-first, graph-powered, autonomous epidemiological intelligence system.

How It Works:

1. 📱 Voice Symptom Logging — Health workers at PHCs speak symptoms into the Expo app in their local dialect (Odia, Bengali, Tamil, etc.)
2. 🗣️ Sarvam AI NER — Saaras v3 transcribes and extracts medical entities (fever, diarrhea, rash, vomiting) with Named Entity Recognition
3. 🕸️ Neo4j Louvain Clustering — Every symptom report feeds a knowledge graph. Neo4j GDS runs Louvain community detection to identify geographic symptom clusters in real-time
4. ⚡ Epidemic Threshold Engine — When a cluster breaches the configurable threshold (default: 15 cases in a district within 7 days), the system flags it as a potential outbreak
5. 🚀 Render Workflows Alert Cascade — Durable orchestration triggers multi-channel alerts (Push, SMS, Email) to District Health Officers, Chief Medical Officers, and state surveillance units
6. 📊 Real-Time Heatmap — The Expo app visualizes symptom density, cluster boundaries, and containment zones on an interactive map

Detection speed: 72 hours before traditional surveillance.
