Built in-house

Software development

In-house tools, APIs and dashboards — built for research.

Overview

Our software team designs and builds the applications the unit runs on — from data-capture apps to the dashboards and APIs that connect our systems together.

Everything is built for the realities of research in Malawi: tolerant of poor connectivity, secure by default, and integrated with the systems study teams already use.

What we do

  1. Study applications

    Bespoke in-house apps, built and led by the senior Software Developer, for the realities of clinical and field research.

  2. Software as a service

    Our applications are hosted, secured, updated and supported by the unit, so study teams simply sign in and use them — nothing to install or maintain.

  3. APIs & integrations

    The endpoints that let our systems talk to each other and to partner platforms.

  4. Dashboards

    Operational and quality dashboards that make data visible to the people who need it.

  5. Systems dashboard & sign-in

    A single, secure launch point for every DMSU system.

  6. Mobile apps

    Android apps for field data capture, participant workflows and secure mobile payment.
