Shunde CDC
Modern Public Health Defense System
Shunde District CDC is responsible for public health monitoring for a population of 3.2 million, covering 7 major testing categories including water quality, food, public venue hygiene, school health, and occupational health. In 2024, Shunde CDC partnered with CNWAYLab to build an integrated "Smart Public Health" platform, constructing a modern public health defense system covering the full "Collect-Deliver-Test-Report-Predict" chain.
Challenges & Our Solutions
Shunde CDC handles multi-dimensional public health monitoring for a 3.2 million population, with complex testing lines, diverse data sources, and extremely high emergency response timeliness requirements. The CNWAYLab team worked frontline at the CDC, deconstructing core pain points and building an integrated Smart CDC platform on the dual-platform foundation of EnviroLIMS + TICLIMS with emergency command and data middle platform capabilities.
Lagging Emergency Response
Public health emergency data aggregation relied on phone calls and WeChat, with severe information fragmentation during the critical 24-hour window. Command decisions lacked a unified view; epidemic situation assessment depended on manually compiled spreadsheets, missing optimal intervention windows.
Emergency Command Cockpit
GIS epidemic heatmap real-time rendering + AI trend alert model + emergency resource dispatch single-pane view — CNWAYLab Emergency Command Cockpit consolidates public health event monitoring, assessment, dispatch, and debriefing into a single visual interface. Commanders grasp the full situation at a glance and issue dispatch orders with one click.
Multi-Source Data Silos
Water quality online monitoring systems, food sampling platforms, hospital infectious disease reporting systems, and school health monitoring systems operated independently with incompatible data formats, making cross-domain correlation analysis and comprehensive assessment impossible.
Unified Data Middle Platform
CNWAYLab Data Middle Platform converges 8 data source categories in real time — water quality monitoring, food sampling, hospital HIS reporting, school health, occupational health, public venues, emergency supplies, and public opinion monitoring — building a unified data model with an AI spatiotemporal correlation analysis engine that generates alert signals from cross-domain data collision.
Multi-Level Reporting Burden
A four-tier reporting system spanning national, provincial, municipal, and district levels, each with different report formats, statistical standards, and submission deadlines. Manual compilation was extremely time-consuming — a single comprehensive quarterly analysis report typically required 3 public health physicians collaborating for 5 working days.
Intelligent Report Hub
The CNWAYLab Intelligent Report Hub features pre-configured report templates for all four tiers — national, provincial, municipal, and district — supporting one-click generation and batch export. The system auto-extracts statistical indicators from the data middle platform, populates charts, and generates CDC briefing reports. National CDC network direct-reporting system data is auto-synced, with only human review and confirmation needed.
Core Functional Modules Deployed
CNWAYLab EnviroLIMS + TICLIMS dual-platform deployment at Shunde CDC covers lab testing, online monitoring, infectious disease reporting, emergency command, and mobile office — 8 core modules in total.
Water Quality Monitoring
Covers drinking water, source water, pipe-end water, secondary supply — all types. Connected to 150+ online monitoring stations with real-time data; abnormal indicators auto-alert and trigger re-test workflows.
Food Risk Monitoring
Full-spectrum testing management for chemical contaminants, microbial pathogens, food additives. Supports four-tier sampling plan management (national / provincial / municipal / district); results auto-compared to national standard limits.
Infectious Disease Reporting
Registration, review, correction, and auto-reporting of notifiable infectious disease cases. Supports data integration with hospital HIS systems, achieving a "medical-prevention collaboration" data closed loop with real-time report timeliness and completeness monitoring.
Occupational Health Testing
Workplace occupational hazard factor monitoring covering dust, chemical toxins, and physical factors. Supports health examination data correlation and one-click occupational health surveillance record export.
Public Venue Hygiene
Full-process management of hygiene testing for hotels, swimming pools, beauty salons, shopping malls, and other public venues. Supports auto-scheduled sampling plans, instant field test data return, and auto-generated report issuance.
Emergency Supply Management
Inbound/outbound, expiry alerts, inventory threshold warnings, and emergency dispatch management for protective equipment, testing reagents, disinfection supplies, and vaccine cold chain — ensuring orderly and efficient resource allocation during emergencies.
Mobile Sampling App
Field sampling personnel complete sample registration, GPS positioning, field test data entry, and photo documentation via mobile device; data syncs in real time to the central LIMS platform, eliminating secondary paper-to-digital transcription.
Smart Dashboard Cockpit
Real-time panoramic display of district-wide public health monitoring — water quality compliance rates, infectious disease incidence trends, food sampling pass rates, emergency supply inventory status, and online monitoring station operational status — all core indicators on one screen.
Implementation Path & Key Milestones
Over 22 weeks, progressing steadily through 5 phases — from public health system diagnosis to full go-live with institutionalized processes, each phase tightly focused on "public health operational requirements" for delivery standards.
Weeks 1–3: Map Systems, Prioritize
CNWAYLab implementation team conducted in-depth interviews with all 7 testing line leads at Shunde CDC, mapping the full business processes for water quality, food, venue hygiene, school health, occupational health, infectious diseases, and emergency supplies. Benchmarked against CDC construction standards to determine system build priorities and implementation pathway.
Weeks 4–9: Converge Multi-Source, Connect Nodes
Built unified data middle platform, completing the convergence, cleansing, and unified modeling of 8 data source categories: water quality online monitoring, food sampling platform, infectious disease network reporting, hospital HIS interfaces, school health monitoring, occupational health examination, public venue supervision, and emergency supply management systems.
Weeks 10–17: Dual-Platform Go-Live, Full Coverage
Deployed EnviroLIMS (Environmental & Water Quality Monitoring) + TICLIMS (Full-Process Testing Management) as two core platforms, layered with emergency command module and intelligent report hub — covering all 7 major testing domains of Shunde CDC. Simultaneously completed data integration and real-time return configuration for 150+ online monitoring stations.
Weeks 18–20: Real-World Test, Refine Chains
Conducted 3 rounds of simulated public health emergency drills with Shunde CDC — water contamination incident, foodborne disease outbreak, and school influenza cluster. After each drill, collected command chain feedback, optimized workflow nodes and alert thresholds, and codified emergency response SOPs into the platform workflow.
Weeks 21–22: Formal Cutover, Process Safeguards
In July 2025, formally completed full-service online cutover. Published "Shunde CDC Smart Laboratory Operations Protocol," defining system operation standards, data quality benchmarks, and emergency response procedures for each role — institutionalizing the informatization achievements to ensure long-term system operation and continuous optimization.
"During the 2025 typhoon season, leveraging the CNWAYLab platform, we completed data aggregation and risk assessment for 48 water quality monitoring points across the district within 2 hours — something that previously took at least half a day. Smart public health is not a luxury add-on; it is an essential lifeline."
