Celebrating the Success of Ona’s First Cohort Training Program!
We’re thrilled to share the success of Ona’s inaugural cohort training program on form authoring and Ona Data. With our enthusiastic participants, this first session marked the beginning of a journey aimed at empowering users to leverage Ona’s tools effectively.
Unleash the Power of Case Management with Entities
Entities allow users to share information between forms, enabling the collection of longitudinal data, management of cases over time, and support for other complex workflows in Ona. They can represent physical things, such as towns or plants, and abstract things, like household visits or facility follow-ups.
Announcing Ona's 2023/24 Impact Report
Driving meaningful social impact using data and technology is at the heart of our mission. Subsequently, we are proud to announce our 2023/24 Impact Report, Building Next-Gen Tools For Scaled Impact.
Team-based care with OpenSRP 2
Led by the Summit Institute for Development (SID), who also received a grant from Grand Challenge Canada for team-based care, Ona has developed OpenSRP apps for midwives (BidanKu app), vaccinators (VaksinatorKu app), and community health workers (CHWs - KaderKu app)—using a standardized data model and shared database—to provide coordinated care for patients in communities and facilities across Indonesia.
Modern technology to educate millions of children with Imagine Worldwide
We’re excited to partner with Imagine Worldwide, an award-winning NGO offering e-learning to children in the most underserved areas. Imagine collaborated with Ona needing to combine data from the field with data from other systems and from the tablets themselves. They engaged Ona’s Data Solutions services to create a fit-for-purpose Management Information System (MIS) that could organize all their data and create actionable reports for program teams.
Using AI to estimate and target immunization coverage with True Cover
Ona created True Cover, a methodology and set of tools that combine high-resolution satellite imagery, spatial sample modeling methods, and lightweight mobile data collection, to enable health facility staff to more accurately calculate coverage for their catchment area. In this post, we look at developing the algorithm and validating the results.
Supporting UNICEF's evaluation of climate change commitments using Akuko
Today’s children and young people will be the most affected by a changed climate, so it is crucial for them to be central stakeholders of climate policies. Recognizing this need, UNICEF set up an evaluation of countries’ climate change commitments, the National Determined Contributions (NDCs), to determine whether commitments in the plans are child-sensitive.
Jenn's Akuko Experience
My experience with Akuko as a novice data nerd has been awesome. Signing up on the Akuko website was a breeze as was playing around with the preexisting sample posts that showcase vital information such as colorful maps, charts, and tables. Health data, global population data, and indices are brought to life on the platform.
OpenSRP 2 launches in Uganda — the world’s first live FHIR-Native Android App
Ona proudly unveils the groundbreaking rebirth of OpenSRP 2. After introducing the platform earlier this year, we reached another milestone in October when the Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) launched in Uganda with over 1300 CHWs.
Standardizing vaccination coverage monitoring with the RT-VaMA toolkit
Vaccination campaigns are routine around the world, yet the quality of care children receive varies widely. UNICEF partnered with Ona to create RT-VaMA, a deployment toolkit for monitoring vaccination campaigns in the Philippines.
