What: Capstone Presentations

When: Tuesday, June 3rd at 12pm

Where: The Allen Center, CSE 403 (NOT CSE 203)

This week at Change four groups from the undergrad capstone class on designing technology for resource-constrained environments will be presenting  their group projects.  The capstone is a two quarter class with the first quarter focused on design and the second focused on implementation.

The four group projects are listed below and each will present for 10 min.

DashTricks: Tablet for District Manager - Tanzania

Hadiza Ismaila, Michael Kutz, Bryan Martin, Jian Zhao

DashTricks is an Android tablet application that provides district immunization managers in Tanzania with a dashboard for monitoring the performance of key immunization indicators in health facilities in their districts. Our project aims to give district managers a sense of ownership over their data to help them realize problems and make better vaccine management decisions intuitively and correctly.

 

IcePAK: Tablet for National Manager - Pakistan

Jennifer Apacible, Brian Donohue, Austin Hedeen, Daniel Luna, Dov Shlachter

Here is a brief description of our project:
IcePAK is a mobile application focussed on vaccine cold chain
management in Pakistan. It's goal is to integrate large amounts of
data into easily consumable forms, enabling decision makers and
managers to allocate resources effectively. High visibility of problem
areas, and automated allocation recommendations, allows these at risk
locations to recognised early and dealt with efficiently.

 

Training App for Laos

Sam Brender, Tore Hanssen, James Lee, Sang-Wha Sien

We are developing a tablet-based training application that will be used to train health workers in Laos.  The initial purpose of the application is to train workers on how to use an SMS-based vaccine stock reporting system, but it will be used for other training in the future. Some of the challenges this group has faced: designing for potentially non-technical users, creating an extensible application for future training needs, and simplifying the application update and synchronization process.

SMS Immunization Manager

Jennifer Kang, Isaac Reynolds, Jackson Roberts, Nicholas Shahan

The SMS Immunization Manager (SIM) is an easy-to-install and easy-to-customize system that allows community health workers to report information about the vaccine cold chain (such as fridge temperature and condition) by SMS rather than paper forms. SIM's main features include robust SMS-based operations that correctly handle even poorly-formatted messages and a moderation web application for administrators to review the system's operation. The system will be deployed in Laos in the coming months and possibly to other countries after.
