Hello to all! I have sent a similar message to health list but with a different purpose. Only the same paragraph is the same.
GNU Health has modules dedicated to the monitoring of neglected tropical diseases (dengue and chagas so far). We are working here Brazil to automate the process of data input into the system. Instead of using the desktop interface, we are studying the following possibilities: use a super simple tablet or a paper form that will be scanned. Those solutions would be used on the field by the health workers. Our first area of work would be to register dengue related information, which is, together with chicungunya and zika, major health issues in Brazil caused by Aedes Aegypt.
We are thinking of two alternatives:
1) Use a super simple tablet, that would display a list of places to visit (like the Domiciliary Units). The user would, then, open a form to input the data colected regarding that place. This data would later be exported to a csv file to be imported into GNU Health.We are studying android development with SQLite to do that.
2) Use a paper form that could be scanned and the data collected would be also imported directly into GNU Health. We are studying sdpas to do that -->

GNU Health would have to make the process of generating the places to visit on a day to each health worker automatic.
What do you think? Please help and criticize.
Of course, if further explanations are needed, I would be glad to do so.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto Novaes
