Tablet-based clinical management tool: building technology for Ebola management centres
Channel: F1000
Date: 10/06/2015

Ivan Gayton presents his project in an Ebola management centre in Sierra Leone, where information regarding patients and their treatments was communicated by shouting over the fence of the quarantined area. The aim of this project is to improve patient outcomes by utilising technology to save clinician time in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and to collect more, high quality data.
The project has seen enthusiastic adoption by medics, including national staff and anecdotally seems to result in more patient data being recorded. However it wasn't possible to evaluate the system rigorously due to drop in patient numbers.
