Ireland adopts Maven for disease surveillance

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Conduent Incorporated (NASDAQ:CNDT), a provider of business solutions and services, has announced that Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) will be using its Maven® Disease Surveillance & Outbreak Management System. The HSE, responsible for public health and social care services in Ireland, has entered into a five-year contract with Conduent for the implementation of Maven, aiming to enhance disease tracking and management capabilities.

The Maven platform, which is cloud-hosted, is designed to reduce manual data entry and improve the coordination of data among healthcare professionals. This system is set to replace the HSE’s previous surveillance system, offering a more efficient approach to managing public health threats by automating the generation of disease events from case or laboratory reports.

Dr. John Cuddihy, National Director of Public Health at HSE, emphasized the importance of the Maven system in providing a modern, national platform for early detection and response to health events. According to Dr. Cuddihy, this will enable the transformation of raw data into actionable intelligence, facilitating quicker and more coordinated public health responses.

The adoption of Maven by Ireland marks its first foray into the European Union, joining other public health deployments in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The system is currently utilized by 28 government agencies worldwide, demonstrating its global reach and the trust placed in its capabilities to manage public health emergencies. While trading at a modest P/E ratio of 1.33 and maintaining a healthy current ratio of 1.68, InvestingPro subscribers can access 11 additional key insights about Conduent’s financial health and growth prospects through the platform’s comprehensive Pro Research Report.

Conduent’s Maven system has been in use for over two decades and supports the management of various communicable and non-communicable diseases, including COVID-19, C. auris, Mpox, Ebola, Zika, measles, tuberculosis, HIV/STDs, and influenza. The company provides online and in-person training for the system and facilitates a Maven Users Group that encourages collaboration and exchange of best practices among public health officials.

Anna Sever, President of Government Solutions at Conduent, expressed pride in Ireland joining the Maven user community. She highlighted that the implementation of Maven aims to equip the HSE with essential tools for protecting citizens against infectious diseases and delivering long-term value.
