Documentation for Model Developers

The Chap platform brings several advantages to you as a model developer:

• It provides a broad range of supporting functionality for modelling, allowing you to focus on what is unique in your project, while relying on Chap for data parsing, model tuning, rigorous model assessment and more.
• It allows you to evaluate your model side-by-side with a range of other models in the field
• It comes with native connection to DHIS2 and the DHIS2 Modelling App, and includes mechanisms to disseminate your model to a large number of health ministries that use DHIS2 as their national health information system.

We provide more detailed documentation depending on who you are:

• Experienced climate health modellers who want to develop or adapt existing models to be compatible with Chap.
• Someone new to modelling that wants to learn the principles of spatiotemporal modelling and how to more easily implement such models through Chap.
