Hi Lars
Thanks for you answers.
So if i summarize these are the SMS availability in the system.
1) Automated SMS for program ; template based SMS ( SMS on joined date, reminder after sometime)
2) Automated SMS for program stage; template based SMS (reminder before appointments, reminder for missed appointments)
3) Manual option for sending SMS- Not template based or pre-populated.
As in DHIS-GSOC idea page voice reminder facility will be created for above option 2) for this project.
These are some of my initial ideas for the GSOC proposal, please provide your feedback on this.
There is the option to convert SMS itself to a voice message using a Text to Speech engine(TTS). This is good and easy option for English and few other languages where good TTS systems are already available. But fact that this is a community based system and intended receivers most probably speak only their local language, and there may not be good TTS systems available for community languages.I will completely avoid the path of using a Text to Speech engine(TTS).
I propose to create all the voice call reminder "setting functionalities" next to SMS functionality already available in the system, rather than creating them on new web pages. (Yes, it may need to create new pages for recording messages, uploading messages ect.. )This would be more convenient for system users.
Sample SMS reminder- /Dear / {patient-name}./ Please remember your/ {program-stage-name}/ on/ {due-date}./
Thank you./
To create a voice reminder inline with this-
Option 1- This need to record the voice in 7- sub-sections and combined it programatically to create a one voice massage them push over the PBX.
Option 2- Create a complete voice message for each individual person separately.For this system admin has to put huge time and effort to create voice messages, so i'm omitting option 2.
So there will be need to voice some of the patient details(patient-name, due-date). This voicing of patient details would be done at later stage but not at the initial patient registration time. Will it be better to give the option to upload or create voice recordings at the "Person Management" console or create a separate web page for this?
Thanks

Hi
I'm just playing around with the SMS facility to get an
understanding how it work, since I hope proposed automated
calling would work in similar fashion. I'm trying this on demo
server DHIS2 App Hub
Few questions
1) I have added a new person, assign him a TB visit program. From
the Person Dashbored I can see the history of the person. On
"Reschedule and set Status" menu there is a option to send a
message. It has given textbox to write a message, can this text
box populated with template messages already written? If yes how
can I do that?
Will this send the message immediately or will it send at
scheduled time?
This is the manual option for sending a message, and it's not
prepopulated. The automatic (reminder) messages are set in the
program setup, either on the stages or on the program itself (the
latter only being available in the very latest software) and not
on demo.
2) Maintenance > Programs and Persons > Automated Message Reminder
I can see only text box for time input, and Start button
and Execute button
I activated Start button, will this activate sending messages for
all users or
Can this be configured that message to be send only to perticuler
group, for eg. reminders will send to TB patients but not for
Child program?
This is the batch job for sending out automatic reminders. When
this process is running, it'll generate messages for the next day
at midnight and then send out the messages the next day. These
reminders are sent out as configured in the 'Stage' of Maintenance
-> Persons and programs -> Program -> View program stages (icon)
-> Edit stage, bottom of page. This is a message related to each
stage, and is meant as a reminder SMS. So it could be an SMS 5
days before a visit is due, with a reminder to come, or with
educational messages if you prefer that.
On the instant build of trunk apps2.dhis2.org/dev
<http://apps2.dhis2.org/dev> which has the trunk version, there is
also an automated message for the program itself, set with regard
to when the user joined the program. So you can then set for
example that someone joining the TB program will get an SMS on the
day they joined, and 2 months afterwards.
The thing about these servers is that they are reset every night,
so the alert configuration doesn't survive. So the demo and dev
servers don't work properly with the alerts. For some of the alert
functions, you can press 'Execute' to process immediately, and see
that the message is in the 'Mobile configuration' -> View sent SMS
page. BUT for this to appear there, there might have to be an SMS
configuration under 'SMS Service configuration'. This gets reset
every night, and we need to add a dummy SMS configuration so we
don't have to create a configuration every time.
Documentation Says see "Add program stage section for defining a
template message " I can't find this adding template message on
system can someone please point it to me?
Maintenance -> Persons and programs -> Program -> View program
stages (icon) -> Edit stage, bottom of page.
This is for the automatic reminders, not the manual reminders you
mention in the beginning of your email.
Best regards

Hi All,
I am a Mphil student of University of Colombo School of
Computing, Sri lanka. I have worked in software industry, 1.5
years for opensource software companies. I�m well experienced
developer in java/ jsp-servelts/ jquery. I have written
several research papers also.
I�m interested on idea -Dialplan (PBX) generation for patient
communication. I have already downloaded the sourcecode build
it on Eclipse. I�m reading the documentation and trying to
get better understanding of the source code specially the
DHIS2-Tracker section.
I tried to run the dhis.war file and standalone program, but
could not succeed. It gave me this error �Exception in thread
"Thread-2" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space� Seems
to be a memory problem, i�m running this on my laptop having
2Gb RAM. Does it need lot of memory to run?
Will it be interested to create some mockups for the user
interfaces that I�m planning to develop and submit with the
proposal?
Below is brief about my opensource experience related PBX
systems.
I have worked for projects Feasibility study to enable
Freedom Fone with voice-based Emergency Data Exchange
(FF4EDXL)
(http://lirneasia.net/projects/2010-12-research-program/ff4edxl/\)
and
Voice-enabled Information Communication Technology for
Disaster Management
(http://lirneasia.net/projects/2010-12-research-program/voiceict4d/\)
as a Reserch assistant/ Analist programmer.
We have used Sahana Eden (http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/\)
a well known disaster managemed system combined with
Freedomfone (http://freedomfone.com/\) an opensource IVR build
using FreeSWITCH. The basic workflow is; when disaster
happens ground level coordinators call the system and leave a
situation report, later they may call asking for their
disaster needs. These voice messages routed to Shana system
and converted into text and saved. Central hub operators act
upon the messages they have received. This video explains the
scenario in more detail
