Shaping the future: Our strategy for research and innovation in humanitarian response.
Mobile technology is a fast phase market and the project has to keep up with the phase to make sure that the recommended data collection tools are up to date and effective.
It is a challenge for the non-expert to find a suitable tool for mobile data collection matching their context (staffing, devices, type of survey/assessments, skill level). The Online assistant of NOMAD is the first step to guide organizations.
In emergencies, time is of the essence. Mobile data collection tools help aid organizations respond quickly and efficiently, improving operations overall.
Choosing the right technology is made simple by using NOMAD’s Online Selection Assistant. From 24 tried and tested mobile data collection tools, price tags and technical specs, the Selection Assistant customizes fits to users’ needs by asking a series of questions. At the end of the survey, the best options are indicated along with a summary report.
Once the organization knows what mobile data tools to use, NOMAD team members can train its staff how to use the tools and analyse the data and if the need be to join the operation to assist in the data collection process.
Using tools like mobile phones and software like apps, mobile data collection simplifies and streamlines the data collection process in the field. As easy as checking a box on a touch screen or sending a text message, data can be collected and stored easily during times of crisis as well as times of calm. Mobile data collecting saves time, saves money, reduces margin of error and improves accuracy.
