A smart phone based system designed to increase the rate of vaccination in developing countries. The rate of vaccination varies from 50% in urban to 2% in tribal areas. The solution has two parts, an analogue part that works with the children and their families. The digital part that facilities the health care worker in the collection and management of data in an efficient manner.



A smart phone based system designed to increase the rate of vaccination in developing countries. The rate of vaccination varies from 50% in urban to 2% in tribal areas. The solution has two parts, an analogue part that works with the children and their families. The digital part that facilities the health care worker in the collection and management of data in an efficient manner. · The application interacts with objects used/worn by children living in rural areas/ slums and in metros. · Eliminates paper-based record keeping of vaccination records. · Multiple levels of fail-safe measures for entering as well as retrieval of data. · Assists the health care worker in planning the vaccination schedule in a particular region. · No additional effort on part of the user is required. Designing a system based on the existing infrastructure that would make it simple for the health care worker to collect, manage and report the data on vaccination while he/she is in the field administering vaccination shots to children. · Make it easy for the children/families to provide the information needed by the health care worker · Create an interface that would work across the literacy barrier. · A system that is scalable, customizable and is easy to explain to increase the chances of acceptance by the end user, in this case, children their families and health care worker as well. · Make the system fail-safe to ensure that the right person is getting the correct shots. · Making the system less expensive than the current one, easier to use both by the health care worker as well as the families and provide an effective method for retrieving the data for analysis of vaccination programs. · A system that would reward the parents for keeping the vaccination up to date Too often, we see solutions that would not be acceptable in the developed world, but its “okay” to give it to folks with very little resources.
