Blu-H develops its work through a combination of internal expertise, open technologies and technical partnerships.
We use Free and Open Source Software wherever appropriate, helping to keep our work transparent, reusable and cost-effective. Where appropriate, documentation, workflows and software are shared openly through GitHub.

Through the programmes we work on, Blu-H combines satellite imagery, environmental models, historical datasets and local observations to produce information that humanitarian organisations and national agencies can use. We use AI and machine learning to accelerate event detection.
Our technology helps turn complex data into accessible outputs, including maps, datasets, dashboards and alerts.
Our tools are developed for real-world conditions, including environments with limited connectivity, basic mobile phones and limited technical capacity.
