The beta version of the Crisis Vaccination Planner, a new data modelling platform developed by the Jameel Institute–Realtime Intelligent Support for Emergencies (Jameel Institute–RISE), is being showcased at the 2025 Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Scientific Day conference on 22 May 2025 at the Royal Society of Medicine in London.
The platform will enable humanitarian practitioners to model the impacts of vaccination discontinuation in crises.
The MSF annual Scientific Day aims to highlight medical research from fragile and conflict-affected settings, bringing together researchers, innovators, and advocates in humanitarian global health.
As part of the event, Jameel Institute co-principal investigators Dr Bhargavi Rao and Dr Oliver Watson are hosting a live demo of the Crisis Vaccination Planner aimed at humanitarian actors and data scientists.
The Jameel Institute–RISE Crisis Vaccination Planner is built and developed by Jameel Institute alongside Imperial College and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, with support by Community Jameel. The platform aims to offer crucial data-driven insights to international agencies and transform humanitarian response in conflict zones.
This year’s MSF Scientific Day will also include a panel discussion on how to tackle malnutrition in an era of shrinking budgets, shifting political priorities and escalating needs, as well as sessions on neglected tropical diseases and how research is used to inform frontline programming, to support humanitarian health teams and the communities they assist.
