UPAS Platform
Unified Procedures and Advisory System for Humanitarian Operations
"Minimise the risk of procedural errors when accessing and following guidance in field environments without connectivity or margin for error"
UPAS (Unified Procedures and Advisory System) is an offline-capable, privacy-first procedural guidance platform for responders operating in low-connectivity, high-pressure environments. It delivers stepwise, context-aware procedural guidance with explicit provenance, ensuring correct procedures are applied even when networks are unavailable.
