Mobile Data Collection: Where do we go? • Relevance of Mobile data Collection • Creation of template • Road map First mass-produced PDA (Personal Digital Assistant/ palmtop) Palm Pilot First massproduced First Integrated PDA-GPS receivers Tablet PC Garmin iQue 3600 Ipad Smartphone World’s First (PDA + email) Blackberry 5810 Mobile Phone Motorola DynaTAC 8000X Multi Touch screen Iphone First handheld GPS Garmin Etrex World’s First Mass-Produced GSM Phone Nokia 1011 First phone using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Nokia 7110 Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? 1983 1992 1996 1998 1999 2002 First phone using 3 G (i.e. better bandwidth) Nokia 7110 2003 Android (open source mobile OS) HTC G1 2007 2008 2010 Mobile Data Collection is good... Relevance 1) Ensure better data quality through control “ex ante” (skip logic, formatting control, etc.) 2) 30% decrease of delay for the collection process (cf. experience for the Mosquito Net survey in Dadaab) 3) Allow the collection of rich content (cf experience for Site Assessment in Kivu with UNOPS) Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? ... but not always appropriate Relevance Mobile Data Collection should always be compared to paper based data collection. It does not fit if: 1) Only a few forms have to be collected 2) The data to be collected do not include rich content (image, GPS) or are collected in one single place 3) The collection process has to be managed by a partner on which UNHCR has a limited control 4) Too many data collectors must be hired Creation of a screening form for mobile data collection initiative... Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? The context induces the technology... Template 1. Survey = Profiling based on sample population One person is interviewed once from the first till the last question Data do not need to be updated FOCUS: The forms must be quickly customized 2. Surveillance system = maintenance of a large number of interrelated information Different key informant visited at different times Data must be regularly updated Data must be easily exchanged Data must be analyzed in relation with a referential FOCUS: Data model & Standard must be enforced Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Template for surveys Template Mostly based on Xforms / OpenDataKit: => Simple to configure, simple to deploy Creation of a form template library IDP profiling Health related surveys Shelter.. http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/ http://unhcr-opendatakit.appspot.com/ Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Template for surveillance systems Template Mostly based on Epidefender studio: => Allows for complex data model & advanced functionalities Creation of an application template library Quick registration & Distribution tracking Site /Needs Assessment Activity Monitoring Population Movement Tracking Health Information System Security Incident? http://code.google.com/p/imogene/ http://dedibox.cartong.org/tomcat/docs/android.html Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Standard Operating Procedures Template Letter of Agreement with CartONG: 1. Creation of training Material 2. Production of short videos 3. Development of a dedicated wiki http://humanitarian-android.org Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Follow on testing through “Innovation champions”... Roadmap 1) IDP profiling => JIPS – IDP toolkit 2) Health related surveys => OSTS 3) Quick registration & Distribution tracking => Yemen & Pakistan 4) Site /Needs Assessment => Kivu, DRC, UNOPS; Iraq? 5) Activity Monitoring => FOCUS 6) Population Movement Tracking => Somalia 7) Health Information System => Chris? Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Upcoming software features Roadmap ODK • ODK aggregate (server) next release will be integrated with a database Epidefender / Imogene (the new name) • • • Deployment of the open source forge to create a developers community Integration with maps on the web client Development of reporting features Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Communication, promotion & training Roadmap Share experience with partners: • • ODK material has been shared with the ODK project team and Google.org Imogene will be presented to the IASC Needs Assessment Task Force Participate in conference & workshop • • • Crisis Mappers (Harvard initiative), ISCRAM UNICEF Innovation New Data Collection Training Module • • WEM ODMLP Mobile Data Collection: where do we go? Institutionalization & Funding Roadmap Establish MoU with • MEDES • ODK Apply for specific funding (for instance the UN foundation programme on mobile technology..) And now a DEMO!!!
