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.

appliance hardware touchscreen video Over the past 5 years, our patient registration system has registered almost half a million people. Before the Baobab system was introduced, the patient queue used to stretch out into the parking lot as each person had to fill a paper form that took about 15 minutes to complete and process. Our touchscreen based system dropped the registration time down to under a minute for new patients, and less than 10 seconds for returning patients.
This video shows a new patient being registered. First his name is entered, then his birthdate. There is some confusion over his birthyear, because he says it is “206″. The system doesn’t allow this date to be entered, and eventually he corrects it to 1976. It then asks about where he was born and where he currently lives. Then a barcode with a nationally unique ID number which can be scanned on his next visit is printed out. Finally his final destination at the hospital is recorded.
The next patient already has a barcode on her health passport. It gets scanned, her destination is recorded and she is finished.
There is on more interesting story about this video. Gem is the name of the system user in the video. He was originally a janitor in the children’s pediatric ward. He swept the floors, and cleaned up the constant messes. When Baobab first installed their patient registration system in the ward it was to be used only by nurses. But nurses often take breaks even though patients continue to arrive. So during lunch, Gem would put down his mop and register patients. It didn’t matter that he had never even seen a computer before in his life - he was able to read the screen and that was enough to register the patients. Gem now heads up patient registration at the central hospital, and has probably registered more than 200,000 patients all on his own.

eVCT documention software touchscreen vct vct videos video In 2004, Baobab introduced a radically different methodology for using information technology (IT) within the VCT environment. Baobab’s eVCT system essentially eliminates the paper-based entry method with a computer-based model that is more accurate and flexible than the paper-based model. Most importantly, the solution is locally designed and implemented to meet the constraints and challenges of a developing world hospital.
This video demonstrates the registration functionality of the eVCT system.
