Association between tuberculosis, diabetes and 25 hydroxyvitamin D in Tanzania: a longitudinal case control study

“…Daily sunshine hours’ data were provided by the Tanzanian meteorological agency. Data were entered directly into an open data kit in a personal digital assistant with real-time error, range and consistency checks [23]. Participants were screened for HIV infection according to the national algorithm (rapid immune-chromatographic test (Alere Determine™ HIV-1/2) confirmed by a second rapid test (Trinity Biotech Uni-gold™ Recombigen® HIV-1/2)).…”

Mapping and sharing agro-biodiversity using Open Data Kit and Google Fusion Tables

“…ODK is an extensible and open source suite of tools (Hartung et al, 2010) and its development is focused on its ease of use (Brunette et al, 2013). The ODK framework consists in several tools, each of which can be used individually or in different configurations (Anokwa et al, 2011).…”

“…It works offline in asynchronous manner, so once the form is completed the user can upload it to the server (Anokwa et al, 2011). The Aggregate tool provides a ''click-to-deploy" server, which allow the hosting of the survey form and the gathering of survey results (Hartung et al, 2010). Aggregate (https://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate/ -accessed 13/11/2015) runs on local machine as well as on server, and data collected in it can be delivered to an external server -private or cloud-based, like Google App Engine (GAE) (Brunette et al, 2013).…”

Accelerating and improving survey implementation with mobile technology: Lessons from PMA2020 implementation in Lagos, Nigeria

“…Additionally, Open Data Kit (ODK), the software platform used to collect data on the smartphone, utilizes skip patterns and logical constraints to limit data entry errors and minimize cleaning time. (Hartung et al, 2010) Data collection in all PMA2020 countries has two stages: 1) listing of all households and Service Delivery Points (SDPs) within the selected enumeration area and 2) administration of the household, female, and SDP surveys. Functionalities of the smartphone and the ODK program allow for automatic time-stamping of forms, making it possible to track progress from the beginning of data collection to completion.…”
