Sparsely distributed areas
 Surveys conducted at sites
are paper-based
 Mobile data collection will
save time and money.
 The Emit system (Cell-Life)
will be able to meet the
needs of the NGO in this
area.
 My project will extend the
features of this system.

Server-side
Need a database that will be able to house
data from sources that are not constant.
These sources include files from Access,
Excel or SQL databases.
Data could be exported and displayed using
XML or other open format.
