The PODD Center, utilizing the domestically developed PODD application, has empowered communities to monitor the health of humans, animals, and the environment. By transforming Thai farmers and communities into disease detectives, the application, developed by OpenDream, has won the £1.3 million Trinity Challenge prize for identifying zoonotic diseases in animal populations before they can spread to humans and become pandemics. The prize money will be used to expand the project and address global pandemics through data and analytics, enhancing the world's preparedness and response to emerging infectious diseases.

PODD is a community-owned digital operating system and program for disease and disaster surveillance and management. It operates through a collaboration between government, private sector, and communities, under the management of sub-district-level One Health Operation Centers. By leveraging smartphones for real-time reporting, data processing, and notification, PODD enables Local Administrative Organizations to rapidly detect health anomalies and initiate early response measures according to their local emergency response plans. This enhances the local government organization's capacity to utilize digital technology and strengthens community resilience, while also improving the effectiveness of disease surveillance systems for humans, animals, and the environment, directly benefiting government operations, environmental health, and the livestock and food industries.
