Yaw,
Nice video from Nigeria. Every success story deserves to be told. My
training went well. We had them create a quick little form with Build and I
showed them a questionnaire on a 7" tablet. The training was mobile data
collection in general, not just ODK - though we showed ODK as potentially
the most adaptable tool for them.
There was a woman from Madagascar who asked me about using ODK for her
census. The problem is, that it is not a one shot deal. She needs to go back
every six months to the same household and see how many new births, deaths,
sicknesses there were. It seems that there are two clear applications. Data
collection via a tool like ODK and then there are Medical records of people
repeat data collection on the same individuals (or tree, plot of land,
well, etc), a health database that ODK does not pretend to be. What are your
thoughts?
this is a use case that comes up a lot in the health domain. we've
tried our best to keep collect as simple as possible (it only fills
out forms) so others can build applications around it.
i'm working on a re-write of odk clinic that does much of what you
describe -- put a health database on the phone (synced to openmrs) so
you can fill out forms about a patient. the version at http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/ODKClinic is very outdated,
but it should give you some idea of what i'm working from. no eta on
when the code will be out, but likely before the end of the year.
we've also been exploring more generic ways to have forms create,
read, update and delete custom databases. we've got some demos going
in the lab, but that work is very young, so no eta. it's something a
lot of people want, so it's high on our list.
anyway, hope that helps,
yaw

Yes indeed that helps Yaw. It is not a knock against ODK - a great system, I
just wanted to be sure I understood clearly. Thanks.

Yaw,
Nice video from Nigeria. Every success story deserves to be told. My
training went well. We had them create a quick little form with Build and
I
showed them a questionnaire on a 7" tablet. The training was mobile data
collection in general, not just ODK - though we showed ODK as potentially
the most adaptable tool for them.
There was a woman from Madagascar who asked me about using ODK for her
census. The problem is, that it is not a one shot deal. She needs to go

every six months to the same household and see how many new births,
deaths,
sicknesses there were. It seems that there are two clear applications.
Data
collection via a tool like ODK and then there are Medical records of
people
repeat data collection on the same individuals (or tree, plot of land,
well, etc), a health database that ODK does not pretend to be. What are
your
thoughts?

Thanks for the info about this - it's something we would very much
like too - we're collecting health data over a period of time and need
to match up the records/forms submitted to an individual patient. The
way we're working with ODK Collect/Aggregate will work for now whilst
we're feasibility testing, but it's likely we'll need something more
like you're suggesting with ODKClinic to be able to scale up in the
future.
I'd be really interested in seeing an updated ODKClinic - so if you
need someone to test it out when you have something ready, please let
me know.
Cheers,
Alex
