Advancing digital pandemic response for a silent global crisis
Spearhead is a national Swiss consortium uniting 8 public and 4 private institutions to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) - a growing global health threat projected to cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050. The initiative builds on pandemic-era digital breakthroughs to create an integrated, citizen-engaged response to AMR. WAAT leads the software development for the project’s modular, scalable digital platform.
The brief: Build a digital infrastructure for real-time diagnostics, engagement and strategy
WAAT contributes to the project by designing and developing a digital platform that supports a rapid, multi-layered response to antimicrobial resistance. The platform facilitates real-time data exchange with healthcare decision-makers, integrates advanced data modelling for patient stratification, and enables decentralised diagnostic workflows beyond traditional lab settings. The challenge is to build a modular, future-ready system that addresses today’s AMR crisis while remaining adaptable for future pandemic responses.
Digital solutions: A modular platform for health resilience
Outcome
Spearhead represents a paradigm shift in how we approach AMR: not just as a clinical challenge, but as a societal one requiring rapid diagnostics, transparent data, and public participation. WAAT’s technology is at the heart of this response, building a platform that will inform policy, empower patients, and shape resilient health systems across Europe and beyond.
