 Background  Pilot Design  Results  Recommendations 2

 Africa Indoor Residual Spraying - President’s Malaria Initiative  Large volume of manual data collection  Multiple remote sites  Quality control difficulty  Data transport and entry time 3

• Spray data collection with smartphones What? • “Real - time” quality control with tablets Who? 48 SOPs, 8 TLs Where? Huambo, Angola (~12,000 houses) When? October 2013 IRS Campaign • Quick data and reporting • Data accuracy Why? • GIS mapping/geo-coding • Establish mobile system for HH-level surveys • Potential cost savings 4

Team Leader Data Quality Check

Team Leader Data Quality Check SOP #22 returned 3 sachets full, 2 empty

48 SOPs trained 36 proved capable 9 switched to paper by day #3 27 used phones (56%) 13

 Quick data for operational feedback  Established mobile M&E system  Robust QC system  Capacity built in seasonal staff  Successful inventory system 14

 Low literacy population  Piloted villages new to IRS  An alphabetical vs. QWERTY keyboard  Initial tech failures in QC system  Data cleaning laborious 15

 Pilot in higher literacy areas  Task team leaders to collect data for 2-3 SOPs  Increase length of training  Enhance view of QC system  Analyze spray coverage (i.e. GIS) with epi/ento trends  Compliment paper-based data with mobile platforms 16

 Mobile phones for: ◦ supervisory purposes ◦ operational and spray campaign decision-making ◦ epi data collection in select health facilities ◦ mass-messaging for IEC/BCC 17
