1. Input and Sharing of Infectious Disease Data at the Grassroots Level Anna Stapleton Computer Systems Lab

2. Abstract
Goal: Patient data easily available to both doctors and scientists
User-friendly database and interface
Modeling mesh-networking abilities

3. Introduction Doctor User Interface Doctor Local Database

4. Introduction One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Computers

5. Background- Design Goals
Open source/ common usage
Small footprint
Consistency
Intuitive/simple use

6. Development- Three Phases
Phase 1: PHP and HTML
Phase 2: Java
Phase 3: Modeling in NetLogo

7. Phase 1 Data Entry (PHP and HTML)

8. Phase 1 Database

9. Installation requirements Redundant data entry Disorganized design
Phase 1 Problems
Installation requirements
Redundant data entry
Disorganized design

10. Phase 2 Data Entry (Java)

11. Phase 2 Linked Database

12. Immediate Results Complies with design goals
Use of Java → minimal installation requirements
Linked tables → prevents redundant data entry
Simple design → users with little computer experience

13. Long Term Goals Use in developing nations Disease surveillance
Improved patient records
Mesh networking via OLPC computers
