The SeeDC Challenge

The challenge our team, SeeDC, undertook for today's Health 2.0 Developer Code-a-Thon was to develop tools for gathering, storing and visualizing the data from mobile HIV testing efforts undertaken by the Community Education Group (CEG) in Washington, DC, from late 2009 to late 2010.

Much of our time was devoted to refining the data and trying out a variety of visualizations until we were satisfied with their meaningfullness.

Our continuing goal is to develop tools to automate the process. Progress has been made on a web-based input form. Further work would be done to develop or utilize an existing mobile tool for data entry.

Visualizations

CEG requested the following visualizations:

  • number of tests per week by ward
  • number of clients per week by risk category
  • number of clients per week by gender
  • number of positive clients per week by risk category
  • number of positive clients per week by gender

Self-Reported Risk factors
