Please join us for this weeks Change talk by Nicki Dell who will be presenting on work published at ICTD 2013 early last month on a deployment of ODK Scan in Mozambique. What: Nicki Dell: Integrating ODK Scan into the community health worker supply chain in Mozambique When: Tuesday, January 14 @ 12 noon Where: The Allen Center, CSE 203 *Abstract* We describe our experiences integrating ODK Scan into the community health worker (CHW) supply chain in Mozambique. ODK Scan is a mobile application that uses computer vision techniques to digitize data from paper forms. The application automatically classifies machine-readable data types, like bubbles and checkboxes, and assists users with the manual entry of handwritten text and numbers. We designed an intervention that uses paper forms in conjunction with ODK Scan to monitor CHW usage of essential health commodities, finding that the application is capable of providing supervisors and stakeholders with important information regarding health commodity availability in the field. Specifically, we (1) detail our experiences integrating ODK Scan into the health worker supply chain in Mozambique, with particular emphasis on the critical (and often under-reported) role of practitioners; (2) evaluate the impact of the technology at multiple levels of the information hierarchy, providing quantitative and qualitative data that exposes the benefits, challenges and limitations of the technology; and (3) share lessons learned and provide actionable guidance to researchers and practitioners interested in ODK Scan or other systems that bridge the gap between paper-based and digital data collection. *About the Speaker* Nicki Dell <http://www.nixdell.com/> is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. Her research interests are in human-computer interaction, computer vision and machine-learning with a focus on designing and evaluating systems that improve the lives of underserved populations in low-income regions. Nicki is advised by Professor Gaetano Borriello and Professor Linda Shapiro.
