Baobab Linux is a Linux distribution targeted specifically for customized iOpener computers. Linux distributions have already been built for the iOpener (Midori and Jailbait), but the iOpeners used by ... [More] Baobab Health Partnership include such hardware customizations as: touchscreen hardware, USB ethernet adaptor, etc. Furthermore, Baobab Linux requires an integrated web browser able to process AJAX requests. Hence, Baobab Linux initially needs to support a specific set of hardware:     * iOpener computer     * x86 processor (266MHz Rise)     * VGA video card - Trident Cyberblade 7     * LCD monitor running at 800x600     * USB Ethernet (Pegasus)     * Touchscreen - Made by 3M. MERL may create alternative version (serial port support most important, USB support is a nice to have)     * Sound card (not top priority, dependent on 16 volt power supply)     * 32 MB of RAM     * 16 MB Flash disk     * Keyboard (bar code scanner)     * Printers (label and laser via parallel port) The software aims for the following:     * Web browser that is AJAX capable and starts in full screen mode     * Printing program (command line) which takes file as argument, and passes file to local printer. Web browser will have a mime-type configured to pass all 'application/print' files (or simply .lpr files) to this program.     * Everything needs to fit on that 16MB flash disk and run in 32MB of RAM [Less]

iHRIS Plan is planning and modeling software developed to improve planning for health workforce needs in developing country settings. This software uses data from iHRIS Manage and iHRIS Qualify to ... [More] form a complete picture of the health workforce in the country. It then projects how that workforce will change in the future based on known influences such as retirement age, the number of trained health workers annually entering the workforce and other factors. This projection is compared to the projected health workforce needs over the same period, visually displaying the gap between actual workers and needed workers. iHRIS Plan is developed by The Capacity Project, an innovative global initiative to help developing countries build and sustain the health workforce.

The Baobab Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) System is currently used in more than ten sites throughout Malawi. It allows clients to anonymously be tested for HIV, Tuberculosis, and other ... [More] diseases. Registration clerks, counselors and lab technicians enter the collected information into Baobab touchscreen systems in real time. Though counseling, referrals, and general awareness are the primary goals of any VCT centre, data collection analysis are a close second. Until now, Baobab has used a proprietary data model for all of the data collection. With the latest release, Baobab has developed a set of SQL scripts that allows existing VCT deployments to migrate their data to the OpenMRS data model. By registering triggers in the MySQL database the system can continue to update the OpenMRS database as the VCT data is updated. This allows site facilitators to utilize open tools for analyzing the VCT data. Why OpenMRS? The Open Medical Record System is a common framework upon which medical informatics efforts in developing countries can be built. It is currently in use in Rwanda and implementations are being built around the world. Using a shared data model across disparate installations and regions enables wider analysis of successes, failures, and general trends. The shared data model will enable each site to improve care based on the comparable results, successes, and assessed need making a better experience for each client. What about the Front-end? At this time we are not releasing the Visual Basic frontend code that writes to the old data model and gets triggered into OpenMRS. We are happy to share the code - just get in touch. [Less]
