Dear All,
With the dawn of information technology, medical technics and methods can be more easily made available to grassroot areas at reasonably cheap prices.
We can get a lot from using our mobile gadgets (phones and PDAs) for field work and data collections in resource limited settings. There is a good software for this, and it has a simple manual we can all master in about 5 hours. This is the episurveyor. It can be downloaded free at: http://www.datadyne.org/?q=episurveyor/home. It also has template forms you can simply modify and use, if you are not ready to delve into the maze of designing from blank sheets.
This is a very good tool which we can adapt to help us monitor and evaluate primary health care services like vaccinations, deworming programmes and others!
Prasidh Ramson, I am sure this will work for you too!
Okwen P Mbah.
