Model Health Nexus as a system. Run the cascade.
Assembled from the Nexus Standards area profile Health security and One Health: the hazards it names, the systems and sectors that carry the loss, the controls that dampen it and the data that observe it. Choose the components, pick an initiating hazard and step through the cascade. The Map view places the run on an example geography with open data. Every coupling weight is a stated assumption you can change. A teaching model, not a forecast, an assessment or a certification. To model a place of your own choosing, open the full System Builder.

Health systems fail through their dependencies.
A hospital is a dense knot of dependencies. It needs grid power and backup generation, treated water at pressure, medical gases, a cold chain for vaccines and blood, working information systems, road access for staff and ambulances, and a steady flow of medicines produced in a small number of places. Most of these sit outside the health sector and outside the control of the people who run the hospital.
That is why health crises rarely stay inside health. A heatwave raises admissions while it strains the grid that cools wards. A flood closes the road that night-shift nurses use and contaminates the water a dialysis unit depends on. An outbreak absorbs beds, staff and protective equipment, so that elective surgery, maternal care and chronic disease management are deferred, and the excess harm often appears months later in people who never caught the infection. Shortages in one country’s supply of an active ingredient can surface as missing antibiotics in another.
Epidemiology explains who is exposed and how risk is distributed; systems science explains how load, delay and feedback turn local stress into system-wide failure. Health Nexus brings the two together, so that preparedness is judged by whether essential services continue, not only by whether a plan exists.

What Health Nexus does.
Health security is the protection of populations from acute public health events that threaten health across communities and borders, together with the resilience of the systems that deliver care. Health Nexus studies both as properties of whole systems: hospitals and their power, water, staff and supplies, surveillance and laboratories, environments, and the links between human, animal and ecosystem health. Health authorities decide.
Its community
Public health; hospitals; clinicians; One Health scientists; health informatics.
Its methods
Epidemiological methods; facility continuity; health services access analysis.
Its outputs
Health-system resilience briefs; access maps; One Health evidence.
How Health Nexus is modelled, measured and tested.
The model, its assumptions, its data and its uncertainty, in the form a scientist or engineer would check. Structures follow published methods. The values drawn are illustrative, not findings.
System model

What Health Nexus does, and what stays with health authorities.
Health Nexus studies how health systems and threats interact with water, energy, food and nature, and helps countries build the evidence and capability for preparedness and continuity. It gives no clinical advice, declares no emergency, notifies no event under the International Health Regulations and approves no medicine or facility; WHO, national public health institutes, ministries of health and regulators hold those mandates.
Epidemic models and figures on these pages are illustrative unless a page says otherwise; they are never a forecast, a risk assessment of a country or health advice. Readiness is not authority. National health agendas, data and decisions stay national, and personal health data is never published.
Where health couples to the other domains, and where findings are designed to go.
| Coupling | Where it is examined | Series designed to carry it |
|---|---|---|
| Health and water: waterborne disease, facility supply | Environmental health with Water Nexus | Country Quarterly |
| Health and energy: facility power, cold chains | Healthcare infrastructure with Energy Nexus | Country Systems Risk and Resilience |
| Health and nature: spillover, vectors | One Health with Biodiversity Nexus | Observatory Signal |
| Health and food: nutrition, food safety | Health equity with Food Nexus | Evidence Brief |
Aggregated health indicators are designed to carry record identifiers, and epidemic models model cards, under the proposed Nexus Standards.
What epidemiologists, clinicians and communities can add.
- Evaluations: retrospective evaluations of models and preparedness exercises.
- Continuity records: how services held or failed in past shocks, aggregated.
- Community accounts: barriers to care, shared through consent-aware routes.
- Corrections: through corrections.
Evidence for the people who keep care running.
Health Nexus is designed to produce evidence that health planners, hospital leaders and public health agencies can examine and use under their own authority.
Epidemiology and continuity
Epidemiological methods, facility continuity analysis and health services access analysis, each with its data and limits stated.
Briefs, maps and evidence
Health-system resilience briefs, access maps and One Health evidence, published as they pass review.
Who it is for
Public health professionals, hospital and clinical leaders, One Health scientists and health informatics specialists.
GCRI does not regulate, certify, license or approve. Health Nexus gives no clinical advice and does not direct care; clinical and public health decisions stay with the competent authorities and providers.
Grounded in method, connected across the Consortium.
Health Nexus stewards the canonical description of epidemiology and public health science in the STEM Commons. It also applies probability and statistics, complex systems and agent-based modelling, causal inference and impact evaluation, data engineering and stewardship, molecular and life sciences and biotechnology platforms. The STEM foundation page shows how each is used here.
The same field is seen three ways across the Consortium. At The Global Risks Forum (GRF), Health and Biosecurity Governance convenes the institutions that govern health security across borders. At The Global Risks Alliance (GRA), Insurance Nexus builds shared industry understanding of health and catastrophe exposures. Within GCRI, Biotechnology and Biosecurity covers the life-science research side. See counterparts across the Consortium and the health and biosecurity field gateway.
The areas of health and biosecurity this platform takes on.
Health Nexus studies health security and human wellbeing as properties of whole systems: hospitals and the power, water, staff and supplies they depend on, surveillance and laboratories, the environments people live in, and the links between human, animal and ecosystem health. Its pages set out the science, the data, the methods and the decisions for each part of that system, with every value labelled by its evidence and every limit stated. It prepares evidence; health authorities decide.
Health system continuity
Keeping essential services running through outbreaks, disasters, outages and staff loss, and restoring them afterwards.
One Health
The shared health of people, animals and ecosystems: zoonoses, spillover and antimicrobial resistance across sectors.
Infectious threats
Detection, assessment and readiness for outbreaks, with reporting delays and uncertainty kept visible.
Health equity
Unequal exposure, vulnerability and access to care, measured by population group and by place.
Environmental health
Air pollution, heat, unsafe water and chemical exposure as causes of disease and as demand on services.
Health supply chains
Medicines, vaccines, diagnostics, oxygen and the cold chain, from manufacturer to facility shelf.
Digital health risk
Clinical systems, health data, cyber threats and the algorithms that support clinical and public health decisions.
Healthcare infrastructure
Facility siting, structural and non-structural safety, functional dependencies and recovery after damage.
Built on named science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Every claim on Health Nexus rests on methods with a canonical page in the STEM Commons, so readers can see what a finding depends on and where its limits lie.
How this works across the six pillars.
Health Nexus works through six pillars of one annual programme, led by the Nexus Consortium, with GCRI, GRF and GRA each contributing in its role: explore, experiment and prototype in Labs, build, simulate and prepare in Foundry, convene and test in Universe, codify, correct and apply in Nexus Standards, publish in every format in Reports, teach in the open in Risk Academy.

The same field, seen three ways.
GCRI studies a field as science, GRF governs it and GRA builds shared financial understanding of it. Health Nexus links to its counterparts so that work on one side is visible on the others.
