NTD Health

NTD Health provides an OpenMRS-based electronic medical record platform for capturing and managing clinical data and treatment progression of patients with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

Key Features:

• NTD-specific customization: Specialized forms and functionalities aligned with OpenMRS guidelines that address clinical needs across multiple neglected tropical diseases.
• Interoperability: Built on OpenMRS community modules to enable data sharing and integration across health systems.
• Clinical data capture and treatment progression analysis: Supports collection of clinical observations and longitudinal tracking of treatment evolution to generate accurate clinical data.

Scientific Applications:

• Patient record management: Centralizes clinical records for patients with NTDs to support longitudinal clinical data analysis.
• Treatment outcome analysis: Enables analysis of treatment progression and evaluation of treatment outcomes over time.
• NTD research and surveillance: Supports research into disease patterns and outcomes by providing structured clinical datasets for NTDs.

Methodology:

Development involved creating a set of forms and functionalities aligned with OpenMRS guidelines to produce a customized OpenMRS distribution (NTD Health) tailored to NTD management.
