Climate stress is already shaping health. HERS brings it into the patient record.

The Health & Environmental Record System (HERS) connects environmental conditions like heat, air quality, and water safety with patient health records, helping clinicians see the risks patients face beyond the clinic so care can be more proactive and preventive.

Air quality alertPatient record

Poor air quality is forecast for this patient’s area tomorrow.

Condition: Asthma
Risk: Flare-up likely

Suggested: confirm the patient has their inhaler and share guidance on staying indoors.

How it works

Connecting the dots between health and environmental data.

1
Collect
Local and remote sensors measure environmental conditions such as heat, air quality, and water contamination.
2
Combine
That data is combined with health records to identify patients at risk.
3
Act
Clinicians provide targeted care, such as advice and medication, while health systems and governments plan policies to support at-risk groups.

Features

Built for clinicians, researchers, and community health workers.

HERS is built on the same foundation as the core Hikma Health EHR platform, so it is resilient, interoperable, and usable in real-world settings.

Data integration

Merges electronic health records with real-time climate data, air quality metrics, and water contamination reports in one unified platform.

Smart alerts

Flags high-risk patients when environmental conditions threaten their health, such as asthma patients on poor air quality days or heat-sensitive patients during extreme weather.

Predictive analytics

Time-series analysis and machine learning identify patterns between environmental change and health outcomes, to forecast outbreaks and resource needs before crises escalate.

Resource optimization

Geospatial modeling helps camp coordinators and public health officials visualize trends, identify hotspots, and simulate “what if” scenarios.

Clinical integration

Environmental risk factors appear directly in the patient record, enabling proactive care without disrupting existing workflows.

Use case

Real-time environmental data at the point of care.

HERS is partnering with Miami Rescue Mission Clinic in Florida to launch the first-of-its-kind integration of real-time environmental and health data at the point of clinical care. The initiative is especially close to our mission, as it focuses on unhoused and at-risk populations.
