We will soon be welcoming custom app submissions for The DHIS2 Annual Conference App Competition!
The goal of the App Competition is to showcase the innovative work being done by developers around the world, using DHIS2 for both web and mobile devices, and to highlight how the DHIS2 App Platform and Android SDK make it easier to develop custom apps using shared tools.
Background: Fostering Innovation through DHIS2 Common Tools
Recent years have seen an increasing number of DHIS2 applications developed independently by the global DHIS2 community. These apps typically offer features and functionalities that are outside the scope of core DHIS2 applications. Some are generic and could be broadly adopted, while others target specific DHIS2 use cases.
The development of these applications ultimately enhances the DHIS2 experience for the end user and strengthens the DHIS2 platform ecosystem in general. To support this – and specially to make it easier for developers to design their own apps that integrate seamlessly into the DHIS2 core software – we have published toolkits for both the Web and Android App development communities:
- DHIS2 App Platform: Shares a suite of common tools that can be used to develop DHIS2 Web Apps with ease: Read more
- DHIS2 Android Software Development Kit (SDK): Facilitates the development of Android Apps using DHIS2 as the underlying platform. Read more
The purpose of our competition is to showcase innovative DHIS2 Apps that make an impact, and to highlight how using these shared tools can help turn an app idea into a reality.
We invite DHIS2 application developers from around the world to submit their best work. Members of the DHIS2 Development team will review the submissions and rank them based on standardized criteria (coming soon).
Selected finalists will have the opportunity to present their application during the conference, and voting will be held to choose the DHIS2 Web & Android Apps of the Year!
