We are really passionate about how data, properly managed and combined, can transform health and production.
Angus Cameron has been a leader in the the development of integrated animal health information systems, a process which draws on our whole team’s combined expertise of sociology, epidemiology and information technology. We have worked on the design and implementation of a number of customised systems for private, industry and government clients.
Data integration systems provide previously unimaginable power and efficiency for health research, surveillance and management and our recent work in this area with the salmon industry in Chile allowed us to develop an integrated data Research Platform, securely integrating full raw production company databases to provide a research tool with unprecedented depth and coverage. This is likely to be the way of the future for industries facing increasing demands for transparency and to facilitate more powerful research outcomes. Data is an asset for industries.
We have a long history of building information systems for the collection, managagement and analysis of data to support both field staff and decision-makers.
Here a few stand-out examples of systems we have developed:
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS)

The ASEAN Regional Animal Health Information System (ARAHIS)
About ARAHIS
The Asean Regional Animal Health Information System (ARAHIS)
www.arahis.oie.int
This system is intended for the use of authorised representatives of members of ASEAN countries, for the purpose of sharing timely information on livestock diseases, to improve regional disease control. To ensure the integrity of the disease information managed by the system, access is restricted by password. This system was designed and implmented by Angus Cameron and others with the cooperation of the ASEAN sectoral working group on livestock, and with support from the Australian Government (AusAID), OIE (head office in Paris, regional office in Tokyo, and regional coordination unit in Bangkok) and ACIL. The system builds on and extends the functions of existing regional animal health information systems, including the OIE’s South East Asian Foot and Mouth Disease campaign and the Animal Health and Production Information System for ASEAN (AHPISA)
The African Union’s Animal Resource Information Manager (ARIS 2)
More about ARIS 2
The African Union’s Animal Resource Information Manager (ARIS 2)
The African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) is a specialized technical office of the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture of the African Union Commission. AU-IBAR’s mandate is to support and coordinate the utilization of livestock, fisheries and wildlife as resources for both human wellbeing and economic development in the member states of the African Union. In order to achieve its objectives, AU-IBAR requires qualitative, complete and timely animal resources information for monitoring, planning and decision making. In line with its mandate and Strategic Plan, AU-IBAR developed an information system known as the Animal Resources Information System version 2 (ARIS 2), designed by Angus Cameron and implemented locally. The system’s goal is to help position AU-IBAR at the continental level, the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) at the regional level and the Member States (MSs) at the local level as the core and reliable sources of comprehensive animal resources information in Africa.
