clearwind consulting and yes this area is home to a certain famous family....

clearwind consulting health care workers for community health care workers in the field large number of children to look after in village (not in clinics)

clearwind consulting identify and help sometimes not easy to spot malnurished kids maybe no records let other people know the kid needs help parents sometimes have enough trouble feeding rest of the family

clearwind consulting disclaimer I am not a health care worked or related to development i know the techy bits can't speak about efficiency of the program

clearwind consulting Robbed of vital nutrients as children, they grow up stunted and sickly, weaklings in a land that still runs on manual labor. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/28/world/africa/ 28malnutrition.html

clearwind consulting ﬂew back

clearwind consulting slept moved house slept, slept http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/chris_gin/2388032929/sizes/l/

clearwind consulting technical details some of these are based on later work for Malawi talk about a few of the bits i worked on interesting

clearwind consulting rapidsms

clearwind consulting from rapidsms.message import Message message.text message.person rapidsms api message.send() message.respond(text) message.forward(identity, text=None)

clearwind consulting decorator for routing

clearwind consulting # Register a new patient @keyword(r'new (S+) (S+) ([MF]) ([d-]+) ( D+)?( d+)?( zd+)?') @authenticated def new_case (self, message,...[snip]): # Do something with the new patient

clearwind consulting i like urls.py

clearwind consulting 1. see what's going where 2. route to different its a django standard, more friendly for other users easier to change sms without having to change the code

clearwind consulting urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^new (.*)', "apps.mctc.views.joining.new_case"), ) despite the name, url patterns can be used for more than just urls

clearwind consulting try: callback, args, kwargs = resolver.resolve (message.text.lower()) except Resolver404: message.respond(_("Unknown command: %(msg) s...) % {"msg":message.text[:10]})

clearwind consulting form handling

clearwind consulting full of checking code, views were full of checking and validation in django this is done by forms

clearwind consulting parse string into form

clearwind consulting # NEW 70 1201 M 19102008 123124124 class NewForm(Form): child = StringField(valid="(d+)") gmc = StringField(valid="(d+)") sex = GenderField() dob = DateField(format="%m%d%Y") contact = StringField(valid="(d+)", required=False)

clearwind consulting class based views http://www.slideshare.net/simon/ classbased-views-with-django

clearwind consulting class based view that does repetitive work → validate form → process form → what to do if it goes wrong subclassed for different country (eg. Malawi)

clearwind consulting class MalawiNew(New): @authenticated def post_init(self): self.form = NewForm def pre_process(self): # malawi specific request years, months = years_months(self.form.clean.dob.data.strftime.data) if years > 5: raise FormFailed, "You have attempted to register child #%s. However, " "the date of birth entered is %s. The age of this " "child is above 5 years. Please resend SMS with corrected " "age." % (self.form.clean.child.data, self.form.clean.dob.data.strftime("%m. %d.%Y")) def post_process(self): if self.form.clean.contact.data: self.data.case.mobile = self.form.clean.contact def error_already_exists(self): # malawi specific code return "You have attempted to register child #%s in %s GMC. However, this child already exists. If this is an error, please resend SMS with correct information. If this patient is new or a replacement, please use the EXIT command first, then re-register." % (self.form.clean.child.data, self.data.provider.clinic.name)

clearwind consulting testing

clearwind consulting tests really matter

clearwind consulting brillianty done format test_05_cancelling = """ allows easy reading by non technical users 1234567 > REPORT 70 25.2 95.5 13.5 N Y 1234567 < Thank you Mariam Coulibaly for reporting child #70, weight = 25.2 kg, height = 95.5 cm, MUAC = 13.5 cm, no oedema, yes diarrhea...[snip] 1234567 > CANCEL 70 1234567 < Report for 70 cancelcel... [snip]"""

clearwind consulting reusable table http://github.com/andymckay/ django-reusable-tables/tree/master

clearwind consulting Note: test data

clearwind consulting liking it less

clearwind consulting register("case", Case, [ ["Id", "ref_id", "{{object.ref_id}}"], ["Name", "last_name", "{{object.first_name}} {{object.last_name}}"], ...[snip] ])

clearwind consulting what challenges?

clearwind consulting another framework? designed for a non-technical audience as a techy that can be annoying, eg settings.py if you just want to speak to SMS and nothing else, maybe better way to go

clearwind consulting not enough time schuyler, adam, matt

clearwind consulting infrastructure this is the pavement in the main street

clearwind consulting We have over 5000 kids in the system now and counting. It's been used to catch over 100 kids with malnutrition and about 400 with malaria. Matt Berg

clearwind consulting thank you, django
