Re: Mobile Device Management - systems and experiences

 

Hi Gonçalo,

Very interesting question. We use mobile technology (custom mobile app
synchronized with DHIS2) for nutrition surveillance in Sri Lanka. We
currently use Google Play Store. But there were different opinions shared
in recently concluded DHIS2 experts academy regarding this. Would love to
hear inputs from others.
