  7. Smartphone Emergency Deployment Briefcase Wifi Router to establish a LAN between the server and the mobiles Ruggerized Briefcase Laptop used as a local server Different type of Mobile (smartphone, tablet, etc.)

  8. Smartphone Mobile Data Collection for Site Assessment in Eastern DRC and for Prevention of Malaria in Kenya

  9. “Paper Forms” versus “Electronic forms” When to go for mobile • Increased accuracy of data • Saving time • Efficient data transmission • Richer data • Pre-set values

  10. Favorable situations When to go for mobile • Large volume of data • Many or recurrent surveys conducted • Closed questions • Willing to learn about new technologies • No safety risk to the data collector

  11. Challenges When to go for mobile • Mobilization • Time • Technical back office • Linear form • Asset management • Budget • Power sources • Community’s perception • Sensitive data. • Data loss • Restriction of mobile device

  12. Implementation Open Data Kit

  13. Features Implementation • Type of form fields (Text, Date, integer, numeric, photo, bar code …) • Multiple choice, unique choice • Field validation • Conditional Field visibility • Internationalized user interfaces

  14. Training & Equipment Implementation • Confirm the number of surveyors • Train/Test the knowledge of surveyor for Mobile OS • Procure enough devices • Plan for external power sources (car charger, solar panel) and spare batteries

  15. Conclusion Conclusion Answer a few questions to define if Mobile Data Collections is REALLY an option to consider Plan for spare Equipment Configure and test ENOUGH IN ADVANCE the forms to be configured Come tonight for the session if you want to test!
