Browser based mobile client


In contexts where mobile data coverage is good and health workers already have phones, using the mobile browser DHIS2 interface may be an important complement to other clients. Cheap, low end mobile phone support browser-based data entry through a simple mobile interface optimized for small screen sizes. You may also consider using a more advanced user interface customized for Android smart phones. The Android smart phone interface also supports offline data entry using HTML5.

The mobile browser interfaces are also great complements for users who ordinarily use the web based data entry, but for some reason need to enter data while on the move. Because the browser is available in many existing handsets and require little extra setup, we typically recommend including basic training in how to access the system using the mobile browser when training staff at any level. Despite the large handset support for browser-based solutions, many projects still prefer limiting the handset base to a well-tested and controlled group of phones, to limit the support and training costs. The costs for the phones is often only a very small part of the rollout of the system, and spending a bit more on phones may give many advantages to future enhancements and evolution of the service.
