Mobile app for field veterinarians

Field veterinarians often work in remote areas with limited internet connectivity. Previously, they had to manually record animal data and vaccination information on paper and then later input this data into the national animal identification system when they returned to their offices.

This process was time-consuming and prone to errors.

This practice is frugal and utilizes a mobile app that works offline, allowing veterinarians to input data in the field without internet access.

The vets use existing smartphones and can sync data when internet connectivity is available, making efficient use of resources.

Field veterinarians can now easily scan ear tag barcodes and directly input animal data, including vaccination records, sample collection information, animal demographics and ownership details.

This data is stored on the smartphone and automatically synced with the national animal identification system when internet access is available. This has resulted in more accurate and up-to-date records, increased efficiency in field operations and improved tracking of animal health interventions.

The veterinary services benefit from real-time data, while farmers benefit from more efficient and accurate record-keeping of their livestock.
