There are two main components to the solution

  1. An Android mobile phone app, referred to here as the Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit
  2. A backend web application, referred to as CloudWorks Data Backend or CloudWorks Server which includes a CloudWorks Dashboard

The data

Each time an RDT is conducted and read using this solution, the system can generate very large volumes of image and metadata. The solution groups certain pieces of metadata together.  This medadata can be sent to different endpoints to ensure client side connectivity is not blocked by larger, less imperative to programmatic success, de-identified metadata.

Interoperable with APIs

To ensure that the mobile phone application (aka Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit) can be utilized by organizations as an extension to their mHealth tool, the open source middle-ware, Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit, has been formatted in such a way that RDT Point of Care properties can be configured and passed back directly to an mHealth tool via API. This means the Toolkit can be used with our without sending data to the CloudWorks server. 

The Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit APIs allow for the basic RDT Point of Care properties (i.e. test times, duration, image, results, etc.) to be sent to the mHealth application, to be stored in that data set and to be reported on using the mHealth application reporting features or built into their dashboards. 

Program RDT Usage data and Detailed RDT Capture Session data are submitted via separate endpoints (configured by the implementer) via an Open API with identifying data removed. This API can be implemented on system backends, or stood up through a reference implementation server, CloudWorks.

Hosted CloudWorks SaaS Solution

The CloudWorks backend is hosted by Dimagi as a SaaS solution. 

The hosted CloudWorks Dashboard has multiple SaaS-based tiers with increasing access to data, reporting, and features, the lowest of which is free to use. 

Numerous collaborators bringing custom integrations

The CloudWorks SaaS solution is a set of global open APIs, the Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit, and datasets, that enable interoperability of RDTs & disease detection eDiagnostics apps with execution, analysis, storage, and a reporting ecosystem. 

Open Source 

CloudWorks is an open source project as is the Rapid Diagnostics Toolkit
