Roadmap
Three phases, in order of what's possible now.
Phase 2 and Phase 3 items are contingent on IRB approval, institutional partnership, and regulatory assessment — they are not commitments to a timeline.
Current sprint
Assembling open-data inputs (WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, GASTAT, MOH) for the first end-to-end Phase 1 pipeline run.
Phase 1 — Planning tier
In developmentOpen data only. Facility validation, both axes, quadrant classification, internal validation, manuscript.
Deliverables
- Facility validation module (OSM vs. MOH)
- Access engine (2SFCA, 30 and 60-minute catchments)
- Vulnerability engine (socioeconomic, environmental, disease)
- Quadrant classifier
- Internal validation (sensitivity analysis, expert review)
- Manuscript for peer review
Dependencies
- IRB exemption for secondary analysis of public data
Phase 2 — Siting optimiser
PlannedInstitutional data via KAIMRC IRB; location-allocation modelling; external clinical outcome validation.
Deliverables
- Location-allocation siting optimiser
- Integration of institutional data (MNGHA BESTCare records, Saudi Biobank)
- External validation against clinical outcomes
Dependencies
- KAIMRC IRB approval
- Institutional data-sharing agreement
Phase 3 — Patient tier
Permission-dependentNational data linkage through institutional partnership; patient-facing emergency department routing, with fixed safety constraints.
Deliverables
- Live ED occupancy feed integration
- Triage questionnaire and estimated wait-time model
- Single-cluster pilot deployment
Dependencies
- National data linkage (NPHIES, Sehhaty, Weqaya)
- SFDA regulatory clearance as clinical decision support
- Emergency physician oversight
