“…This study focuses on presenting architectures of selected software and comparison of these tools using technical and non-technical aspects. In one of our previous works [6] we have done a literature review of ODK, ODK-X and their extensions, in which there is plenty of cases, type of cases and the extend at which these tools were used for various surveys.…”

<p>Nowadays, data collection has become an activity inherent in the emergence of any organization. The digital age has enabled the development of mobile data collection apps that are becoming increasingly common around the world. But faced with the growing number of apps offered, Data Managers are often challenged by with the choice of the solution that best suits their case.</p><p>This study meets this need by providing clear, precise and verified information on each of the selected solutions. The study presents, analyzes and compares four mobile data collection solutions. To achieve an effective comparison, we first chose to collect and select papers on each of the solutions, and then to install and test each of them by executing a data collection process, all the way from the form creation to the visualization of collected data. The comparison presented in this paper was based on technical aspects but also on other important aspects to help users make a good decision.</p>

“…It is with this objective in mind that in 2019 we have explored the use of a platform that is quite widespread in developing countries, ODK [9], [10]. We then compared ODK to several other platforms such as KoBoToolbox, Pendrago Form and ODK-X [11].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) has plunged the world into a crisis that will forever be marked in the annals of humanity. Several mobile applications have been proposed, in particular to help limit or even stop the spread of the virus. In this paper, we propose a mobile data collection application, LISUNGIcovid19. This application has been built on the basis of the Open Data Kit (ODK) platform. The proposed solution offers both a mobile application and a data server to store, visualize and analyze the collected data. Although there are several applications created in this context of covid-19 such as STOPcovid or Wiqaytna, our solution is distinguished by the rapid adaptation of its data collection form according to the evolution of lockdown exit or renewed lockdown strategy adopted by the authorities. It will help decision-makers in the evaluation of their strategy and possibly the planning of lockdown exit and thus ensure a good management of the way out of this health crisis. The data collected by LISUNGIcovid19, as well as the analysis it proposes of this data, will enable the competent authorities to take the decision to quarantine, or isolate a city, a neighborhood or a group of individuals; or to start planning a progressive lockdown exit or even a new social isolation if necessary. The case study carried out in Morocco to test LISUNGIcovid19 helped to understand the classification of the cities of Casablanca, Rabat and Salé in zone 2 during the first phase of lockdown exit and then in zone 1 during its second phase; while the cities of Kenitra and Marrakech remained in zone 2 during both phases.

Data collection is one of the first and main phases of the data life cycle. It enables improvements to be made across all phases of the data lifecycle. In this sense, we have proposed a data collection process qualified as Smart. For our smart data collection process, we have adopted the principles of the smart data approach allowing less data to be transmitted to the analysis and storage processes, while maintaining better data quality. In addition, we also used Edge computing since it provides services with faster response and better quality, compared to cloud computing. To experiment this process on mobile data, we propose to extend a mobile data collection software solution and adopt one of the key data collection methods. In this paper, we tested our smart data collection process via the ODK-X software suite and were able to identify the added value of our process compared to the one used by default during collection.
