No Signal, No Problem: How We Collect Data in the Most Remote Places
Mobile development is often associated with messaging, banking, or entertainment. Yet, with mobile phones being omnipresent, even more so than computers in developing countries, they're the perfect medium for providing life-changing tools to NGOs, Ministries of Health, etc.
This talk will discuss the challenges of having a decentralized data-collecting application in areas with little or no internet connection. We will look at this through IASO, a mobile app used in many developing countries to follow up on beneficiaries, help eliminate diseases, or improve infrastructure.
This talk will cover how we can share information when no internet connection is provided and how we synchronize months of data without losing any.
