Mr. Tathagtata Bhattacharjee

Currently working with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Mr. Bhattacharjee has been associated with VRHP as Honorary Consultant – Data Science and IT Systems for over 15 years. His work experience extends to both the corporate world and academia. During his tenure in post-graduate teaching, he trained his students on data management using live case studies of VRHP. He played a pivotal role in rolling out electronic field data capture systems initially using laptop computers and then on android tablets, one of the first exponents of such big scale longitudinal field surveillance using tablets in India. His global exposure, working as a SAC member for INDEPTH Network and thereafter taking a lead role in INDEPTH’s iSHARE project, gave Vadu a leading edge in understanding and designing health data management systems.
