OpenDataKit Magnifying human resources through technology


Open Data Kit (ODK) is a free and open-source set of tools which help organizations author, field, and manage mobile data collection solutions. ODK provides an out-of-the-box solution for users to:
  1. Build a data collection form or survey (XLSForm is recommended for larger forms);
  2. Collect the data on a mobile device and send it to a server; and
  3. Aggregate the collected data on a server and extract it in useful formats.
In addition to socio-economic and health surveys with GPS locations and images, ODK is being used to create decision support for clinicians and for building multimedia-rich nature mapping tools. See the list available toolsfeatured deployments, and implementation companies for more examples of what the ODK community is doing.
We welcome and encourage participation from the user community. ODK is supported by a growing community of developers, implementers and users as well as various companies. Core ODK development is supported by ongoing research at the University of Washington's Department of Computer Science & Engineering and through donationsfrom users.

Health Information Management

https://www.satmed.com/tool-analysis.php

Three tools are provided in SATMED for data collection and analysis:

    DHIS2
    KoboToolbox
    RapidPro

These tools provide a wide spectrum of options for data collection and analysis since they are differentiated in terms of overall complexity, data acquisition mechanisms and statistics features.


Who we are


SATMED is a high quality e-health platform that is open, easy-to-use, readily available and accessible anywhere. It is the medical arm of emergency.lu, the disaster recovery communications platform created to improve the rapid response capabilities of rescue teams in areas hit by severe natural or human-made catastrophes. Building on this proven platform, SATMED has been tailored by the experience and expertise of non-governmental and governmental organisations, together with the innovative technologies of leading universities and IT companies in order to answer the needs of the global health community. Thus, SATMED is meant for a wide range of users including non-governmental and governmental organisations, hospitals, medical universities and global health institutions.


What we do


Generally speaking, SATMED aims to help healthcare providers make better use of information technology and mobile health solutions in remote and underdeveloped areas, particularly to support regional development programs and humanitarian operations. There are several barriers that currently exist when using health IT and e/m-health applications: the cost of purchasing and maintaining software applications and providing secure data management; inadequate user friendliness; poor interoperability between IT solutions; and limited availability in remote locations. SATMED overcomes these barriers by integrating within a single platform a wide range of capabilities, including access and storage of patient e-records, medical imaging, virtual consultation, e-learning, remote monitoring and e-health management. Furthermore, all tools can be accessed via a unique portal with a single user log-in and are available as web applications that can be readily used on desktop and handheld devices, without the need for a sophisticated local IT infrastructure. Last but not least, SATMED also provides services for data storage/back-up and satellite-enhanced internet connectivity.
