Conduent Incorporated (NASDAQ: CNDT) shares lost ground Thursday. The global technology-driven business solutions and services company today announced that the Republic of Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) selected the company’s Maven® Disease Surveillance & Outbreak Management System to monitor, manage and report infectious diseases. Maven will replace HSE’s legacy surveillance system to more effectively track disease outbreaks and take prompt actions to protect public health.
Under the five-year contract, Conduent will implement its Maven cloud-hosted software platform as well as provide maintenance and support.
The system’s flexibility will enable HSE staff to configure it for seamless data sharing, integration and coordination among medical professionals and epidemiologists. Upon receiving a case or laboratory report, Maven automatically generates a disease event, significantly reducing manual data entry and duplication of efforts.
“Like many public health organizations globally, HSE faces increasing complexity as infectious diseases continue to escalate and impact our ability to protect public health,” said Dr. John Cuddihy, National Director of Public Health at HSE.
“By implementing the Maven system and collaborating with Conduent, we’ll gain a modern, national platform that not only enables early detection of health events but also transforms raw data into actionable intelligence. This platform will empower faster, more coordinated responses to better serve the people of Ireland.”
CNDT shares gave up five cents, or 1.2%, to $2.98.
