Video of Baobab HIV Treatment system (BART)

hiv projects ruby on rails touchscreen touchscreen toolkit video

This video shows how our system guides health care workers through HIV treatment protocols. After logging in, we scan a patient’s barcode, see their ‘patient dashboard’, then answer some questions and dispense the drugs.

The system uses Ruby on Rails, mysql and the touchscreen toolkit to deliver all of the functionality via a web browser running in full screen mode on a touchscreen computer.

Baobab at RailsConf Europe

Mike McKay recently took Baobab on the road, after being invited to speak at RailsConf Europe. He went and told the Ruby on Rails world about how rails is helping to fight HIV in Africa. He brought to life the HIV epidemic and showed how healthcare workers are being guided through treatment protocols and getting decision support from the data in realtime. Check out the slides from “Africa On Rails” for more information.
