USAID-AMPATH (Kenya)

AMPATH is the largest HIV treatment program in sub-Saharan Africa and is Kenya's most comprehensive initiative to combat HIV. Over the next two years, ODK Collect will be used in a home-based testing and counseling program where 300 phones will be used to reach 2 million people. The collected data will be submitted to a medical records system (OpenMRS) for analysis and followup.

Grameen Foundation Application Laboratory (Uganda)

ODK Collect has been used by AppLab since November 2008 by shared phone operators (SPO) in rural Uganda. The SPOs survey their customers about available phone-based services and the results are used to guide the development of services like Google's Clinic Finder and Farmer's Friend. One user noted that unlike their old paper surveys, "The survey process is real time as opposed to the paper forms where we had to wait for a month to be picked up...".

Episurveyor at DataDyne (Kenya)

DataDyne is active in over 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where EpiSurveyor is being used on mobile phones to track crucial data—from the availability of medical supplies to the coverage rates of immunization campaigns. DataDyne is using ODK Collect as the foundation of EpiSurveyor on Android. ODK Collect can already use forms built for EpiSurveyor and soon will be able to submit to the EpiSurveyor server.

Change at University of Washington (Seattle)

ODK's core developers are from the UW's Computer Science and Engineering department and members of Change, a group at the University of Washington exploring how technology like ODK can improve the lives of underserved populations in the developing world.

Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley (Central African Republic)

The Human Rights Center investigates war crimes and other serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. Their empirical studies recommend policy measures to hold perpetrators accountable, protect vulnerable populations, and help rebuild war-torn societies. Traditionally, these studies have been done on paper, but a proof of concept study in Uganda in 2007 showed that mobile data collection was feasible, fast, and generated much higher quality data than traditional paper based surveys. HRC is now moving to use ODK to build a system that is easy to deploy, efficient, and free to all.

Wharton School of Business at University of Pennsylvania (South Africa)

A team from UPenn's Wharton School of Business is using ODK Collect in a three year survey research project in South Africa studying small businesses and entrepreneurs in townships outside of the major cities (Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town).

Information School and Haas School at UC Berkeley (Ethiopia, Uganda, India, Mexico)

Teams from University of California, Berkeley Information School and Haas School are exploring applications of ODK Collect to facilitate agricultural knowledge access in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Initial investigations will be conducted with field partners in Ethiopia, Uganda, India and Mexico.

Vetaid (Zanzibar)

Vetaid supports animal health projects in Africa by training a large number of Community Animal Health Workers or "barefoot vets". A recent development within the project has been the adoption of mobile telephony as a way of linking the community workers with the central veterinary team. ODK Collect is being piloted for collecting information from 50 farms and 400 animals.

D-Tree (Tanzania)

D-Tree is putting the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) onto mobile devices to aid clinicians. At the core of IMCI is a set of medical algorithms designed to guide health workers through the classification and treatment of children under five years old. ODK Collect is at the heart of this e-IMCI project.

Frogtek (Columbia)

Frogtek is a social venture dedicated to creating business tools for micro-entrepreneurs in emerging markets. Using mobile phones as a cheap computing platform, it will develop applications targeted to small retail shops, restaurants and other small businesses. Frogtek is interested in using ODK Aggregate to store forms and building a new UI for ODK Collect.

Brazilian Forest Service (Brazil)

The Brazilian Forest Service is piloting Open Data Kit for in-situ monitoring of the Brazilian Rainforest. Workers will use ODK to enable more timely validation of deforested areas.

Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education (Uganda)

eMOCHA is a free open-source application, developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education, designed to assist health programs in developing countries improve provider communication and education, as well as patient care, by coordinating wireless devices with local server-based clinical training and patient care support services.

The software package consists in two applications, the client runs on Android phones and the server side runs on a web server with PHP and MySQL. The client works as a data gathering application (using ODK), a training device (Using videos and quizzes to test understanding of content) and a medical consult tool (using the voice calling capabilities and the camera on the phone to send pictures to the doctor on call), the server side shows the collected information and provides statistics.

A messaging system embedded in the client provides encrypted two way messaging between the Medical staff and the community health workers.

VillageReach (Mozambique)

VillageReach develops logistics and management support software applications to strengthen health centers and other healthcare providers for implementation in remote, underserved communities in low-income countries. "vrMIS3" is a cloud-based supply chain and cold chain management system that provides a high degree of flexibility through multiple paths for data entry, including SMS, excel, and web forms. The ODK project extends that reach and enables vrMIS3 to track in real time vaccines, medicines, and equipment supplied to rural health clinics. In collaboration with the Mozambique Ministry of Health, VillageReach is rolling out the ODK in early 2010 across multiple provinces, with additional country implementations scheduled for later in the year.
