Article Synopsis
- Advances in low-cost biometric technology allow for secure and efficient collection of unique biological signatures for identification and research purposes.
- These methods are especially beneficial for individuals in resource-limited areas who lack formal identification.
- A new open-source app has been developed to integrate biometric fingerprint capture with existing data collection platforms, significantly enhancing data accuracy and accessibility.
ODK provides software and standards that are popular solutions for off-grid electronic data collection and has substantial code overlap and interoperability with a number of related software products including CommCare, Enketo, Ona, SurveyCTO, and KoBoToolbox. These tools provide open-source options for off-grid use in public health data collection, management, analysis, and reporting. During the 2018-2020 Ebola epidemic in the North Kivu and Ituri regions of Democratic Republic of Congo, we used these tools to support the DRC Ministère de la Santé RDC and World Health Organization in their efforts to administer an experimental vaccine (VSV-Zebov-GP) as part of their strategy to control the transmission of infection.
