Technology is the future of public health.
While the EECA region continues to face serious challenges, digital innovations are becoming our most powerful tool to ensure that no one is left behind.
This quarter, we highlight digital solutions being implemented across the region with support from the iSoS regional partnership. From piloting the AI-powered assistant TWIIN in new countries to introducing new DHIS2 functionalities that enhance data quality and service tracking — we are making public health smarter, faster, and more accessible.
Explore this iSoS project digest to learn more about the breakthroughs that are shaping new standards of health system resilience across the EECA region.
GPS Tracking in Kyrgyzstan
As part of a partnership with UNDP in Kyrgyzstan, the Alliance for Public Health has successfully introduced an innovative GPS tracking system in DHIS2. Outreach workers can now record service delivery points in real time, improving transparency and the efficiency of monitoring. More than 60,000 data entries have already been collected from 16 service sites.
Batch Input Mechanism in DHIS2
To accelerate data entry in HIV prevention programs, the Alliance team developed a Batch Input Mechanism — a tabular interface that allows entering data for multiple clients simultaneously. Successfully piloted in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, the tool has reduced errors and improved data processing speed. It was presented at the DHIS2 Annual Conference 2025 (Oslo) and DHIS2 Symposium (Washington).
Unified Coverage Indicators
The Alliance has introduced standardized indicators for coverage, regular clients, and minimum service packages in DHIS2. This harmonization ensures data comparability between EECA countries, aligns with Global Fund reporting standards, and strengthens the analytical capacity of programs.
Integrated HIV Testing & PrEP Module in Tajikistan
In Tajikistan, the Alliance is developing a unified HIV Testing and PrEP module within DHIS2. This integration removes duplicate data, merges processes, and enables tracking of a client’s journey from testing to prevention — improving both accuracy and program efficiency.
On 3 November, a national workshop was held to discuss new innovations, including online PrEP ordering and postal delivery, with participation from Trust Points, Friendly Cabinets, and AIDS Centers specialists.

TWIIN: AI-Powered Digital Assistant
TWIIN is an innovative digital assistant created by the Alliance for Public Health to provide trusted information and support on HIV, mental health, sexual and reproductive health, and harm reduction.
Since its launch in 2024, the platform has supported over 54,000 users and conducted more than 6,000 consultations, linking clients to testing, telemedicine, and local services.
Presented at IAS 2025 in Rwanda, TWIIN has received international recognition as a scalable model for digital access to health services.
The next step is regional expansion — with localization and launches planned for Georgia, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. Each country version will feature an adapted digital assistant, local languages, and service directories.
TWIIN continues to demonstrate how AI-driven innovation can enhance access to care and strengthen health system resilience across the EECA region.

Regional Digital Solutions Strengthen Community-Led HIV Programs
Under the 2024–2026 regional grant, the CO “100% Life”, supported by the Alliance for Public Health, is advancing digital tools to enhance the capacity of NGOs in Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan.
In Kazakhstan, preparations are underway to introduce the DataCheck data management and analytics platform for CAAPL. The business analysis phase is ongoing to align the tool with local workflows. Development is planned for 2026, with full deployment expected in 2027.
In parallel, the NGO Management Tool is being developed to improve decision-making processes in community-based organizations. National consultants in Moldova, Kazakhstan, and Georgia are conducting needs assessments and guiding adaptation efforts.
Both tools aim to improve the efficiency and coordination of community-based HIV programs across the region.
