Re: using DHIS2 in offline mode

 

Hi Alison,

Can you describe the clinic situation? Our MOTECH platform can connect to
multiple clinic environments and push both individual and aggregate data to
DHIS2 configured through the user interface. We're doing this with
CommCare, xform based systems (Ona.io, KoboToolbox and ODK Aggregate) and
OpenMRS.

Sincerely,
Craig
