Flowtasks
AI for Real-Time Epidemic Intelligence in Africa
About Flowtasks
Flowtasks is an edge-deployable, AI-powered health information system that integrates directly with national and regional health data repositories. The platform standardizes fragmented patient records and applies advanced machine learning models to detect disease anomalies, forecast outbreaks, and recommend rapid response interventions — in real time.
The Problem
Traditional public health surveillance systems are:
Manual and slow, delaying outbreak detection
Poorly integrated across data sources
Reactive instead of predictive
Costly in lives and economic burden due to late interventions
Africa’s epidemic response suffers from preventable inefficiencies.
The AI Solution
Flowtasks applies cutting-edge ML and AI to solve public health surveillance at scale:
LSTM & Transformer Forecasting: Predicting emerging outbreak trends
Graph Neural Networks: Identifying anomalies in contact networks
Random Forest Models: Classifying high-risk zones by disease patterns
Real-Time Retraining: Adapting continuously to new pathogens and patterns
All models are trained on epidemiological and patient-level datasets to support fast, data-driven decision-making.
Why It Matters
Shrinks disease detection lag from days to hours
Enables dynamic triaging and resource allocation
Facilitates proactive public health policy
Helps track and contain localized spikes in real time
Protects communities through data-driven resilience
Business Model
Government contracts and public sector tenders
Integrated analytics dashboards for national health systems
Consulting & deployment services for provincial and regional health authorities

Processing live patient data and adjusting to new threats in real time
Support & Collaboration
To scale across all 9 provinces and more:
8× NVIDIA A100 GPUs for high-speed, distributed model training
4× NVIDIA T4 GPUs for low-latency regional inference
50 TB object storage for longitudinal health records
High-bandwidth compute for simulation, model refresh, and real-time triage
Total Estimate: 3,000 GPU-hours/month
