Ecosystem Overview

The openCHS Ecosystem brings together the Helpline Service, the AI Service, and connected partner systems into a unified platform for child protection case management.

Core Components

  • Voice-to-text transcription for accurate case capture
  • Real-time dashboards to monitor:
    • Location of incidents
    • Perpetrator type
    • Abuse category
    • Resolution time
    • Referral completion
  • Connected referrals to partner agencies
  • Case lifecycle management from intake to closure

2. AI Service

  • Speech-to-Text + Translation (Whisper + NLLB)
  • Entity extraction (names, gender, institutions, locations)
  • Automated classification (categories, interventions, risks, referrals)
  • Decision support using risk scores & intervention suggestions
  • Data preparation for data-driven decision making

3. Partner Integrations

  • Government child protection systems (e.g., CPIMS)
  • Referral partner platforms
  • Reporting dashboards for policymakers and stakeholders

Data Flow
