WIMEDS consists of three main components shown in a high level view in the figure below:

  • Forecasting Medical Supplies - Different Countries need to perform a forecast of their needs wrt medical supplies for a given NTD. This process is performed in a periodic fashion and requires the interaction of different actors. WIMEDS allows Countries to request their forecasted medical supplies through a web application that is based on a Business Process Management System (i.e., Bonitasoft).
  • Requesting Medical Supplies - When unexpected cases of people infected by NTDs appear, this web application can be used for Health Facilities to request medical supplies in an ad-hoc manner.
  • Stock Management - This is the web system to be used for the management of the stocks wrt medical supplies of NTDs.
