Biometrics in tracker

Hello @Gassim. I guess you must have missed this. Any track on this issue?

@ifeanyiokoye , sorry! Since this is specifically a request about the roadmap it might require sometime to get it updated. I’m requesting a response from @tracker-products as soon as possible. :+1::+1:

Thank you! :heart:

I’m still following up on this; any update?

Hello,

We just wrote a blog post on the solution we have developed with Simprints to integrate DHIS2 and biometrics. A customized Android Capture App is enabling data capture that includes biometrics capture and integration with the Simprints App used for patient identification, enrollment & verification.

During this development, there has been implemented a solution that can:

  •     Enroll users attaching their biometrics
    
  •     Identify users by their biometrics
    
  •     Verify users by their biometrics
    

Once biometrics are complete the health worker returns to the DHIS2 app and is presented with a list of potential matches. From this list she or he can select the correct record and proceed with the follow-up visit.

We are pretty excited about its impact on Ghana, where it is being used to to track the new vaccination against malaria (there is a brief video explaining the project)
