From the success of the solution for the Ministry of Health and Social Services, iMarketing Consultants was presented with an opportunity in 2018 to support the Africa Health Research Institute in South Africa with a data collection and management aspect of a cutting-edge health screening and scientific research in an area of northern KwaZulu-Natal that has one of the highest HIV and tuberculosis prevalence rates in South Africa.
Building on the design of the solution designed earlier for Namibia, iMarketing Solutions successfully implemented a distributed data entry system that allows data interchange between a central database and local registries, while reducing room for possible human error by interfacing to X-Ray machines and lab information systems. As an addition, the system offered an interface in English as well as Zulu and Xhosa to assist data collectors in interviewing the participants.
