What's new in ODK? We added more workflow automation in ODK Central, improved geospatial data collection in ODK Collect, and provided visibility into ODK Cloud's performance. https://t.co/qItIwpbbYc
Here is a mobile app that my colleagues at @ifakarahealth & @pamcafrica have created for identification of Afro-tropical Anopheles mosquitoes. We named it Coetzees, in honor of the legendary African medical entomologist, Prof. Maureen Coetzee (now retired but not tired), whose taxonomic keys form the basis of the app. Try it out and let us know what you think.

The app, created for the @DEntomologist program, is available for downloads from on Google Playstore. And of course, just like Maureen's 2020 publication (https://t.co/5QIWNzR46t), the Coetzees app also includes Anopheles stephensi, An. amharicus etc. Key contact is @dixonmsaki

Thanks to the Pasig City Nutrition Committee and @SEAOILFdn for delivering a training on using ODK to help implement a food insecurity program. Learn more at https://t.co/XCuDqxr3Yx.
ODK's server API lets you automate everything from user creation to form updates to data exports and we've just released pyODK, a Python library that makes automation even easier. Join a webinar on Oct 19th at 4 PM UTC to see practical examples. Sign up at https://t.co/SMPfsT2MGp
@WHO is recommending the use of the RTS,S vaccine, the world’s first malaria vaccine. It could save tens of thousands of lives and we're humbled that data collected with ODK helped convince WHO to approve the vaccine. Learn how at https://t.co/7hXVuZsA7m #WorldMalariaDay
Last week, @WHO approved the first malaria vaccine! It's a historic rollout that will save tens of thousands of kids each year. We're humbled to learn that clinical data collected with ODK helped convince WHO to approve the vaccine. Learn how at https://t.co/7hXVuZaYIM
"The data we collected with ODK showed that the [first ever malaria] vaccine was safe and effective, and it helped convince @WHO to make it broadly available." - @aurdipas
I say it a lot, but I still don't think I say it enough. I'm so proud of the impact ODK's community has.
Where exactly do #malaria mosquitoes rest inside houses? Do indoor residual spraying (IRS) programs target those surfaces? Could we improve IRS?
My colleague, @Betweljohn & friends at @ifakarahealth provide some answers from field surveys in Tanzania.

While IRS is still reliant on spraying walls and sometimes roofs with insecticides to kill resting mosquitoes.
Approximately 40 to 63 per cent of mosquitoes inside houses rest on surfaces that normally removed during spraying operations.

We are super excited to be part of the @OpenDataKit convention in Seattle this weekend. It is an inspiring gathering of many the world's greatest minds who have made open source data collection a success.

Dickson Samwel works for @IfakaraHealth Institute and has been one of our most active and helpful people on the forum. So much so that he's now a forum moderator! Learn more about Dickson's ODK story at https://t.co/1v7jCRrmo6
ODK Collect can log behavior of data collectors as they navigate through a form. We added (opt-in) location tracking in v1.20, and now in v1.22, you can also track changes to any answers! Learn more at https://t.co/TX1QsPC46u and upgrade at https://t.co/ifTXFI2pEu.
ODK Collect v1.22 is out and you might have noticed that we've added Mapbox basemaps for all geowidgets! @Mapbox provides a faster, smoother and more responsive rendering of @OpenStreetMap than was previously available in Collect. Try it today at https://t.co/ifTXFI2pEu!
Great news for ODK Collect users. Relevance, constraints, and calculates now work on the same screen! Upgrade to Collect v1.22 at https://t.co/ifTXFI2pEu to try it out. Thanks to @purplespatula for adding this highly-requested feature. 🚀
