Customizing the guidelines

The Ebola Care Guidelines app packages logistic regression prognostic models together with a list of care recommendations that in turn point to specific intervention guidelines from WHO's manuals of patient management. All of these elements can be customized in the source code of the app, available in this repository, in order to incorporate more accurate prognostic models or care guidelines that better represent the medical knowledge acquired in recent outbreaks. The app's source is provided as an Android Studio project (tested with Android Studio 3.1 and higher).

The pages in this wiki go over how to add/remove prognostic models and care guidelines.

CommCare integration

Entering the patient data through a CommCare app could be more convenient than using the default entry-form in the Ebola Care Guidelines app, because CommCare allows to store data temporarily in the phone, and permanently in a secure cloud server. However, a custom CommCare app needs to be created in the CommCareHQ user space first. The following page details both how Ebola Care Guidelines is able to read data from the CommCare app, and how to create the CommCare data-entry app.
