Rapid Pro

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 6

What is Rapid Pro?

• A project by the UNICEF Innovation lab to make SMS based communication and project implementation easier. • An open source software and user group• A modification of Text It that allows for greater dashboard and user

control• Pre-made reporting features• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmXn24veoTA

Text It

• Choice groups are very similar to Telerivet

10/2015

Big difference is here…introducing flows!

Contacts are still pretty much the same

Analytics automatically tabulates data for you in a pretty interface

Allows for organization and scheduling of outgoing texts

What is ODK?

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 14

ODK

• Closest thing to a standard in MDC• Open-source• Works in low-tech and low-resource settings

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 15

It’s a suite of applications

• ODK Survey – drag and drop interface for survey design• XLS Forms – Excel interface for survey programming• ODK Collect – Android based application for data collection• ODK Aggregator – Cloud based data aggregation• ODK Briefcase – Physical data aggregation • And many more…

Why use ODK?

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 17

It turns anybody who can use Excel into a programmer!

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 18

Very easily translatable

Let’s build some forms!

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 22

Requisites

1. Laptop with Excel 2. Internet connection 3. ODK reference spreadsheet4. Sample hand washing Survey

10/2015

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 23

Step 1: Set up your Excel Sheets

• Two sheets, one named “survey”, the other “choices”

• Survey should have three columns:• “type” “name” “label”

• Choices should have three columns:• “list_name” “name” “label”

ODK Skills

1. Entering different types of variables into the form 2. Working with selection lists (multiple / single)3. Creating question lists4. Contraints 5. Relevancy

N Kishore - Rollins mHealth Collaboration 25

Step 2: Start creating your variables

• Look at the ODK reference sheet to determine what type of variable you’re interested in and insert them step by step into the excel sheet

• Be comfortable with:• Entering different types of variables into the form • Working with selection lists (multiple / single)• Creating question lists• Contraints • Relevancy

• You can use the sample Hand Washing form or one of your own10/2015

Step 3: Convert and Validate

• Go to: http://opendatakit.org/xiframe/• Upload and convert your excel form, remember it should be titled “form”

• Validate your form. You can download the ODK Validate application here: https://opendatakit.org/use/validate

• Or you can validate your form against the CommCare Standard online here: https://www.commcarehq.org/formtranslate/
