Sana

Sana is a standard-focused open-source system that supports audio, images, location-based data, text, and in the future, video.

Sana’s front-end for data and media capture is accessible through a fully programmable workflow interface. The back-end provides an intuitive user interface for management of medical media.

Sana was built to be integrated with OpenMRS and other commonly used medical record systems for portability. The system infrastructure and design allows for modularity and interoperation.

Some of the other key features provided include:

• Built-in training and workflow solution at the mobile device level can be used to train local nurses and health workers.
• Open source foundation to encourage re-use of the solutions being developed.
• Expert-labeled database that contains quality auditing and cost controls, rapid search and review, and a training set for (future) automated A.I. classification of images, audio and video.
• Software is downloaded to the phone so decision support is available even when connection is poor or non-existent.
• Data transfer is algorithmically controlled to ensure reliable uploads even in poor coverage areas.
