summary

Iaso is a web + Android platform for geo-rich public-health data collection and curation that links surveys to organizational units in a canonical hierarchy, allowing each unit to have a location and territory which field teams can enrich (GPS points, name corrections) and officials can validate via a web dashboard. It’s built with a white‑labeled Android app (Java/Kotlin, reusing ODK parts) and a Python/GeoDjango + PostGIS backend with React/Leaflet frontend, provides CSV and GeoPackage import/export and an API for analysis and mass edits, and is used in Performance Based Financing and organizational-hierarchy rebuilding projects (DRC, Niger, Cameroon, Nigeria) and integrates with DHIS2 and OSM. The presentation demos the platform’s main features and gives background on its creation and roadmap (patient registry, monitoring, microplanning).
