The Chap Modeling Platform

Chap is a Climate & Health Modeling Platform that brings together disease forecasting models into a unified ecosystem, connecting researchers with cutting-edge epidemiological models to policy makers and health practitioners. It makes complex modeling workflows accessible to users, automates rigorous model evaluation, provides a broad range of generic convenience functionality available to modellers, and integrates directly with DHIS2, the world's leading health information system.

We here provide technical documentation tailored to:

• Experienced climate health modellers who want to develop or adapt existing models to be compatible with Chap.
• Someone new to modelling that wants to learn the principles of spatiotemporal modelling and how to more easily implement such models through Chap.
• Platform contributors
• System administrators wanting to set up Chap with connections to DHIS2 and the Modeling App
