There was a need to put in place a centralized solution (web portal) with mobile data gathering (SMS) on to understand and fight with more efficiency against tuberculosis. The system also provides an information platform with data analysis and management for medical staff and health workers. The system is capable to cope with electricity power cuts and IP network inaccessibility. Finally, a reminder system for taking drugs and/or coming to visit doctors is available.

The system also implements Sling accessors to this remote repository: a server for analyzing SMS running on an android phone and a website built with a combination of server-side scripts in JSP and client-side script in Javascript. Finally, the reminder service for patient patients is managed thanks to the Google Agenda reminders service that send reminders on phones at a special date and hour through a gateway running on the android server to patients mobile phone.
