Joel Johnson has a great piece up today on EpiSurveyor and its founder , Dr. Joel Selanikio . EpiSurveyor is open source software built for personal organiser and cell design to supervise health trends in develop nations . In these area , internet access is often spotty or unavailable , and traveling to remote village to collect data on M of citizens using newspaper forms is boring and impractical . Using Dr. Selanikio ’s software system , health officials can now travel to these area equipped only with a cellular telephone and gather wellness selective information about rural citizens , and upload the information to a central waiter via SMS .
Selanikio points to one exercise where EpiSurveyor has already been a great benefit : the Zambian Health Ministry . They used the software to conduct their first - ever malaria survey and were able to reorganise payload of medicine to village that were in need of it within weeks . In addition to donation for the project , Dr. Selanikio is most in need of help building a sustainable commercial enterprise model to keep this revolutionary idea going . If you have the experience and would care to help , visit the situation and get in tinge . [ EpiSurveyorviaBBG ]
