Abstract

Organizations in low income regions need tools for collecting and reporting on data. Existing paper-based approaches are often slow and incomplete when compared to data collection tools on mobile devices. In this demonstration, we present the authors' Android-based system in addition to broader work by the OpenRosa Consortium - a community dedicated to building open source, standards-based tools for mobile data collection, aggregation, analysis, and reporting.
