SORMAS (Surveillance Outbreak Response Management & Analysis System) is an open-source digital platform for epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response. The system allows routine disease surveillance, early detection, and management of disease outbreaks.
It is recognized as a Digital Public Good (DPG) contributing to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
The system is in use in several countries across 5 WHO regions, including Luxemburg in the European region. During the COVID-19 pandemic it was extensively used in Germany, France and Switzerland.
The SORMAS Foundation is a non-profit organization whose vision is “a world in which all countries are prepared to respond to epidemics and pandemics digitally and collaboratively.” It aims to support countries in strengthening their surveillance and outbreak management systems through the implementation of SORMAS, as well as to ensure the high-quality standards and sustainability of the software itself.
