Hello all! I am Ian, a public health physician from the Philippines.
I first learned ODK through one of my colleagues who used it for his research.
I am currently looking into ODK for use as a chronic disease surveillance/disease registry system. At present, we have a PC/web-based platform which has a lot of practical problems in field implementation especially in a place where internet connection is not 100% reliable.
If there are others here who use ODK in that capacity, I would love to get in touch and discuss ideas. Open source is great, especially for developing countries such as the Philippines!

Yes there are many people on this forum/community that are based in the Philippines. Me is an example. Welcome aboard Ian!
Hello,
I'm Camlus. I live and work in Kenya, in some place by the lake called Kisumu.
I have used ODK collect to collect data whilst monitoring polio emergency vaccination campaigns, while assessing health facilities for emergency obstetric care readiness, and for client satisfaction surveys. Basically, I download the software from playstore, install it, follow some provided instructions by the M&E guru responsible for the project(s) and then I set out to the field (households, health facilities), key in data and send to server.
But now I need to learn to be the guru. I presently need to set up an ODK system whereby ministry of health need to conduct a client exit interview at health facilities to assess the level of satisfaction with health services. I have no immediate support in the office so I will rely a lot on this community.
When not collecting data, I read newspapers and journal articles on scientific topics related to health, politics, social justice, and just about any other topic in the universe.
Fun fact: all humans on the planet are related, somehow.
Helo family,
I am Otim Harron. A Ugandan by nationality. My profession is information systems analysis. Currently am a MONITORING AND EVALUATION ASSISTANT at Uganda Red Cross Society working in one of the world's largest refugee settlement Bidibidi located in Uganda. The exposure to ODK was through surveys that my organization frequently conducts. The much exposure to mobile data collection where i mostly use ODK Collect on mobile handsets. Am proud to say that i take lead in this.
Am profoundly grateful to be part of this forum.
Cheers
I am based in Ethiopia, Africa. I am trying to use ODK for data collection and when encountered uploading then I have searched in the google and found this forum. I am not sure as I know the kind of ODK, but I think ODK collect???
I am a Civil Engineer from Brazil, I was searching one app like ODK. I don't use it already but I will try to search a way to install here in this forum.
Hi - I'm Doug Rinckes - I'm heavily interested in mapping and use of geo data. I work for Google in Switzerland, and lead the plus codes project that aims to provide a free, open source addressing solution to communities that lack addresses.
I like ODK as a set of nice, simple tools that allow easy data collection, and look forward to seeing how the tools evolve.
Hi everyone!
My name is Francesco and I am a GIS/IM specialist working in the humanitarian field.
ODK is a great tool that we use on a daily basis to collect our data when out on the field. I will be happy to contribute as I can to this community.

Dear ODK Forum. I am Iwara. I am based in Calabar, Nigeria. I got involved with the ODK community as I tried to find solutions to my ODK projects. Our ODK projects are field surveys using the Google AppEngine platform. I do data science apart from data collection.

I'm a doctoral student at University of Ottawa focusing on Maternal and Child Health issues in Eastern Africa.
I began using ODK in 2013 for an HIV trial in Uganda; currently I'm using it in a community-based health service trial in Ethiopia. I created surveys for both these trials using XLSForms and haven't yet tried using Build. I've still got plenty to learn and I'm looking forward to it!
My name is Collins I. Ozoadibe and I am from Nigeria based in Abuja; a graduate of Statistics from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Nigeria.
A friend introduced me to the community after I participated in a survey using CAPI for the first in 2016.
I started as an enumerator, then a desk-tester and now a programmer for most projects my organisation manages. I have worked on several evaluation projects, because of the organisation I represent and I have trained many organisations and individuals on ODK design. I will also love to learn from another.
I can be reached via @snillok4u on all social media platforms.
I manage data using STATA and Excel.
I love blogging and I also enjoy looking for a problem to solve, staying innovative in in my career.
I don't think I mention that I love driving, and I really do.
I wish I could write more about myself.
