It is one of the world\u2019s most devastating diseases that mainly affects children under five. When one child remains infected, all children are at risk. One in 200 cases results in lifelong paralysis.<\/li><li>The main challenge the country faces is identifying unvaccinated children. Health workers have to go door-to-door to collect data, and it can be difficult to reach families with no formal addresses or mobile communities. With 40 million children across Pakistan requiring a polio vaccination every two months, data management can be a gargantuan task.<\/li><li>This is where 500-backed big data company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenysis.com\/\">Zenysis<\/a> comes in. The team\u2019s software <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3DbatSX\">integrates and harmonizes siloed datasets<\/a> while removing duplicate records. \u201cData is like people, in that if data sets don\u2019t talk to each other then they won\u2019t work well. Zenysis gets data and data sets talking,\u201d explained Project Manager Abid Hasan.<\/li><li>The result? Real impact on the ground. Using Zenysis\u2019 data, Pakistan not only has a new vaccination plan, but a personalized one for each district, called a microplan.<\/li><li>\u201cFirstly, the new microplans give community health workers the real picture. Second, frontline workers now have a plan to follow and are no longer using broad or inflated data that is hard to action on. Third, this approach is measurable \u2013 when you reach a target, that goes into the system. With accurate data, you can really see the impact,\u201d said Abid.<\/li><li>Now, health workers can identify neighborhoods with clusters of unvaccinated children. In turn, this leads to optimized use of time and energy, and better outcomes for communities.<\/li><li>To date, the Sindh region has used the Zenysis platform to identify over 28,500 zero-dose children in the region and vaccinate 12,724.<\/li><li>Read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3DbatSX\">here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stories you may have missed this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup611\">FinAccel<\/a> raises ~US$140M Series D and becomes 500 Southeast Asia\u2019s 6th unicorn; looks beyond e-commerce and consumer credit<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup612\">Mapan<\/a>\u2019s 3M users is only just the beginning \u2014 the company wants to empower more Indonesians to make better financial decisions<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup613\">Gilmour Space<\/a> to launch rideshare mission, Australia\u2019s first caravan into space<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup614\">StoreHub<\/a> team sets their sights on achieving net profitability while empowering small retail and F&amp;B businesses in SE Asia to grow<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/sara-dhewanto-513386_duithape-fintech-islamicfinance-activity-6983258559585148928-Cxnm\/\">duithape<\/a> was honored with an award from the Central Bank of Malaysia in the category \u2018Innovative Solutions in Islamic Finance\u2019.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/angin-angel-investment-network-indonesia-_accelerator-business-startup-activity-6984080132093198336-QrPP\/\">ANGIN<\/a> launched NINJA (Next Innovation with Japan) Accelerator Program 2022 to help impactful Indonesian companies expand partnership opportunities and secure financial support.<\/li><li>New research from <a href=\"https:\/\/bwnews.pr\/3DbX25c\">Neuron Mobility<\/a> found that every e-scooter rental contributes ~US$8,000 to local economies in Canada every year.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preventing disease with data Polio may seem like a thing of the past for many of us, but in Pakistan, the virus is still endemic.
