MOTECH's Current Capabilities

The latest version of MOTECH is 1.0. We recognize that open source projects rapidly develop with many contributors adding a piece at a time. This document focuses on the capabilities of MOTECH right now and will remain updated regardless of the current release. We're keeping a list of future features on our roadmap .

Below is a list of features currently available in MOTECH:

  • Administration
    • Manage modules through the user interface. MOTECH is a modular system that allows you to add specific features and connections through modules. Administrators are able to install, configure and manage modules through the user interface.
    • Role based access controls, audit logs, password requirements and many other security and auditing capabilities
    • Create user defined entities (MySQL database tables, lookups and relationships) through the user interface
  • Tasks
    • Wire up events in MOTECH through the UI with the tasks module
    • The tasks module is the primary method to act on events in MOTECH. Each interaction raises an event in MOTECH which can trigger a task and perform a corresponding action.
    • Run tasks on a user defined schedule, configurable through the UI.
    • Interact with systems over intermittent internet connections:
      • Push button retries allow administrators to retry a task when they know the other system is available
      • Users are now able to define retry schedules. For example, if the system is down now, a user can try to retry it on 6, 12 and 24 hour increments.
      • Users are now able to naming triggers, datasources and actions which is more user friendly.
    • Query and Update any MDS table by task action.
  • Interfaces
    • Web Browser
      • End users can directly interact with the MOTECH interface through a web browser
      • End users can collect form data in Enketo, which posts to an xform based system (Ona.io, KoBo Toolbox or ODK Aggregate), which then forwards to MOTECH.
    • Commcare two-way integration
      • Configure multiple connections to Commcare projects
      • Receive and act on forwarded forms and cases from CommCare
      • Import historical forms
      • Import forms/cases by ID
      • Connect to Commcare's data, fixture and location APIs to supplement tasks
      • Interact with supply quantities in CommCare supply
      • Create/Update case properties from MOTECH
      • Post forms from a MOTECH Task action to CommCare (currently support simple forms without logic)
    • Mobile Data Collection
      • Collect data on Android phones using ODK Collect, ODK Scan or Ona Collect. The data is forwarded from Ona.io, Kobo Toolbox or ODK Aggregate to MOTECH
    • SMS Integration
      • Send and receive SMS from MOTECH through integration with an SMS aggregater with predefined configurations for popular systems including:
      • Create a JSON SMS template to easily connect to a specific Mobile Network Operator
      • Integration with RapidPro allowing us to create, update and delete contacts as well as initiate flows and respond to webhooks.
    • IVR Integration
      • Initiate outgoing calls from MOTECH by integrating with a mobile network operator
      • Integration with RapidPro allowing us to create, update and delete contacts as well as initiate flows and respond to webhooks.
  • Modules
    • OpenMRS Integration through their REST API
      • Create/Update Patients and Program Enrollment in OpenMRS
      • Create Order, Observation groups by Create Encounter action, Encounters and Observations
