About us
“Our Mission is to leverage
the power of data and AI
to strengthen public health systems in LMIC,
ultimately reducing the burden of infectious diseases such as TB, HIV, Malaria
but also non-communicable diseases.”
We are committed to be a driving force in this transformation. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) we capture, combine and analyse data from a wide range of sources to measure disease burden and create predictive insights increasing the quality of health care. Our company runs on the enthusiasm and the skills of an amazing multidisciplinary team of machine learning architects, bioinformatics, medical and public health experts. Every one of us is committed to making a positive change in the world.
How EPCON's Squads Drive
Public Health Impact
Improving public health outcomes starts with understanding local realities.
Improving public health outcomes starts with understanding local realities. At EPCON, we structure our work around this principle through autonomous, country-focused squads.
Each squad is responsible for two to three countries and typically includes:
-
Two to three data scientists
-
One public health project manager
-
One country manager
This setup enables each team to develop operational knowledge specific to the countries they support.
For instance, one squad supports tuberculosis (TB) and HIV programs in Nigeria, and also works on Ebola and Lassa fever in Nigeria, Guinea, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Another squad focuses on TB in Pakistan and the Philippines.
Why this model works
Each squad operates with a precise knowledge of its context while drawing on a shared platform and technical support.
-
Proximity to context: Teams understands the country-specific needs and operational constraints.
-
Responsiveness: They can quickly adapt to the new developments or shifts in program priorities.
-
Combined expertise: The mix of data, epidemiology, and project management ensures that guidance is grounded and relevant.
-
Scalability: New squads can be introduced or existing ones adapted without affecting the rest of the organization.
-
Platform enablement: Squads help public health partners use EPCON’s AI-powered platform to support decision-making.
These teams ensure that our AI platform evolves with the needs of the countries we serve.
This allows EPCON to remain close to its partners. We embed technical and contextual expertise within each squad to support more effective and sustained public health programs across regions.
