Connectivity Understanding

Hello all how are you?

Just to check my knowledge when working with multiple team.
If a patient is registered by an administrative officer, and then move the medical consultation. For the doctor to find and reference the patient, it is necessary that both administrative officer and doctor have access to internet right?

Any advice regarding this connectivity issue?

Hi Quentin,

That’s correct, both staff members would need access to the internet in order collaborate on patient records like this.

What you can do is run a local ActivityInfo server that the team can connect to via WiFi. This can work even if the server isn’t connected to the internet.

You could use a Raspberry Pi 5 (EUR 200) or a more rugged, fanless unit like the OnLogic CL260 OnLogic CL260 Ultra Small Form Factor Industrial Computer (~EUR 500).

I mean you could even run the server from a laptop as long as you could keep it from going to sleep, though I’m not sure I would recommend this.

At this time, we don’t have any tooling to synchronize between www.activityinfo.org and a local server, so your local installation would be entirely self-contained. Hybrid local/cloud deployments are something we’re interested in exploring, so happy to collaborate on this if you’ve got a good use case.

Thanks for this very techy answer :wink:

I think i will search more at the process level, first record from administrative officer gives a code in a paper to the patient, and the patient bring this code to the doctor who enters it manually.
Then, and based on the declared condition that there is internet, we review the code and map the reference to the previous database

Paper based, but functional :wink:
