Hello, I am fairly new to ODK and hoping someone can help me with my query. I noticed that the options for visualisation are only Bar, Pie and Map, and they seem to use data from one question at a time. If I wanted to visualise 2 factors, how can that be done without having to export data onto excel?
For example, I am collecting data on pain incidence. I would like to visualise the degrees of pain over time, say over a period of a month. Is there a way to visualise this as a graph?
I'd appreciate any help or advise on this.
Thanks.

Hi Nidhi, I was wondering if you use ODK for the analysis and visualisation of data? If so, can I pick your brain about it sometime? I am a masters student (MSc Health Informatics) located in London, and just starting to work on a couple of projects using ODK. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some advise from you.
Thanks.

Hello!! @Jaya_Chat
I would like to share one of the possible ways to visualise data.
Using ODK Briefcase
, you can convert the collected data(forms) from xml
to csv
.
Click here for ODK breifcase
docs.
Next step would be to write a python script to visualise the data.
You can follow this link to open a csv
file in python.
There are many visualiszation libraries in python like matplotlib and seaborn.
I hope this answers your query.

Thanks for your response @Akshay_Patel ! I will look into what you mentioned. I am not well-versed in python though
Hi Jaya,
Sorry for late reply. I was busy with some work. Yes I have been using ODK for the past few years. And would like to help you any time.
Thanks.

You can use Stata as well, as in health-IT. We usually use Stata, Below are few points how can you visualise your data in Stata.
Steps 1 : Import Excel into Stata.
Steps 2 : Tabulatein Stata
Steps 3 : Graphs in Stata.
That's it. This is only thing which you have to do.
Best,
Narendra

@Nidhi_Shrivastava Thanks so much for your response. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions once I start creating the forms I am planning to create. It is comforting to know that I can come to you with questions.
maybe my application can help. I managed to do a little php mysql of odk. you can login to https://accounts.gocollectinfo.com username:demo@gocollectinfo.com password: 1234567
feel free to play around.
@Clickuinternet Thanks so much! I'll check it out.
Yes sure you can ping me any time.
