A One Health data platform

One workspace for the entire life of your epidemiological data.

Aleph∞One unifies sample registration, laboratory tracking, biobanking, literature and team coordination across human, animal and environmental health, from field collection to final publication.

Built with Laravel · SQL · Livewire. Piloted over 5 years across two One Health research programmes.

Surveillance data shouldn't live in scattered spreadsheets and paper logbooks. Aleph∞One replaces fragmented tools with one relational system, so data is traceable from the field to the published paper, and nothing is lost along the way.

Platform

Four interconnected modules, one relational core.

Each module is a focused data environment, yet all are dynamically linked, so information flows across the whole platform instead of sitting in silos.

Samples

Register and classify field and lab specimens (humans, animals, environment, parasites, nucleic acids, cultures and pools), each fully traceable to its origin.

Experiments

Record categorical and quantitative results (Ct values, titres, OD), each linked to protocol, pathogen, lab, researcher and project for full reproducibility.

Storage & Biobank

Track every tube and box with a grid-based placement interface and full movement history, designed to align with ISO 20387 traceability requirements.

Literature

A shared, searchable reference repository with structured metadata, full-text uploads and relational links to protocols and generated results.

How it works

The same four ways to work with every dataset.

One consistent operational logic across all modules, so the platform feels familiar wherever you are in it.

01

Registration

Dynamic forms, table entry or bulk CSV import, with conditional logic and interactive selection.

02

List

Searchable, sortable, filterable tables with CRUD operations and one-click CSV export.

03

Dashboard

Real-time descriptive statistics, charts and maps to surface patterns and trends instantly.

04

Profile

A relational overview of any unit, aggregating every linked entity within its project context.

One Health by design

A relational data model built on the human–animal–environment triad.

Human, animal and environmental samples form the foundational units, processed into tubes: the operational hub where biological material, experiments and storage meet. Every derived sample, result and sequence stays linked to its origin.

Human Animal Environment

Every unit carries a self-explanatory traceability code

Storage tubes sit at the centre; modules interact horizontally, not just top-down.
Proven at scale

Five years in real-world research.

Piloted across two independent One Health programmes on infectious diseases in Southern African wildlife.

870+animals · 21 species
4,400+biological samples
28,000+experimental results
12,000+biobank tubes
~70pathogen species
7peer-reviewed papers

Also: 2,000+ parasite specimens, ~1,400 nucleic-acid extracts, 170+ biobank boxes and metadata from 200+ publications, all in one traceable system.

Built for research, by researchers

Governance and engineering you can trust.

Role-based access

Administrators, editors and viewers, with selective per-domain editing. A read-only Guest Mode opens published data for transparency and teaching.

Traceable & reproducible

Unique identifiers, timestamping, audit trails and polymorphic relationships keep every transformation linked to its source.

Bottom-up surveillance

Build networks one project at a time. Smaller labs and academic partners can contribute meaningfully, without a large centralized programme.
