CommCare
What is this?
CommCare is a platform for creating Android-based mobile applications without being a developer, providing a wide range of tools for creating forms, managing data, visualizing reports, integrating with other systems and improving decision making in a wide variety of fields related to social welfare. It also includes specific features for working in low connectivity environments and for ensuring the privacy and security of the data collected.
Why was it developed?
Because at least 50% of the population lacks access to essential health services and CommCare helps reduce this gap by training frontline workers to deliver essential services to communities in need.
Why are we sharing it?
Because it is employed in more than 50 countries and used in a wide range of contexts, from rural healthcare to nationwide public health. Whether you need to securely digitize data in remote locations, track data and access real-time reports to support your decisions, build a sustainable, affordable and scalable data management system, Commcare's platform enables you to do it.
