SmartVA-Analyze is an application that implements the Tariff 2.0 Method for computer certification of verbal autopsies.

More information and the SmartVA-Analyze application can be found here: http://www.healthdata.org/verbal-autopsy/tools

The latest development version of the SmartVA-Analyze application can be found in releases. The application is available as a Windows graphical user interface (GUI), Windows command-line interface (CLI), and Linux binary.

The latest stable version of the SmartVA-Analyze application can be found here: http://www.healthdata.org/verbal-autopsy/tools

The SmartVA-Analyze application requires an input csv in the format of the PHMRC Full Questionnaire, PHMRC Shortened (SmartVA) Questionnaire, WHO 2016 Questionnaire or WHO 2022 Questionnaire.. The simplest workflow is to collect verbal autopsy data with ODK Collect and export the questionaire data via ODK Aggregate or ODK Briefcase.
