Improving data collection and monitoring through real-time data analysis

Published:11 January 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

Feedback based on real-time data is increasingly important for ICT-based interventions in the developing world. Applications such as facility inventories, summarization of patient data from community health workers, etc. need processes for analyzing and aggregating datasets that update over time. In order to facilitate such processes, we have created a modular web service for real-time data analysis: bamboo.
