    Implementing a web-based immunization schedule reminder for postnatal service delivery
    (Pushpa Publishing House, 2016) Matiluko, M.; Omogbadegun, Z.; Omoregbe, N.; Adewumi, A.; Parejas, F.J.; Misra, S.; Crawford, B.; Soto, R.
    The mortality rate of infants under the age of five is still relatively high in many sub-Sahara African countries like Nigeria. Immunization remains the most crucial and cost-effective public health intervention scheme for protecting children in this region from vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunization, however, is only effective if the nursing mothers keep strict appointment schedules. To this effect, information technology can be leveraged to help in this regard. This paper thus implements a web-based immunization schedule reminder for postnatal service delivery. In order to realize the system, a componentbased development approach was used to extend an existing electronic medical record to include the immunization schedule reminder. The resulting system is able to reduce child mortality by reducing the rate of missed appointment schedules. © 2016 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.

    Mobile-based emergency report and response system for academic institutions of developing countries
    (Pushpa Publishing House, 2016) Adewumi, A.; Nwaoyo, C.; Parejas, F.J.; Misra, S.; Crawford, B.; Soto, R.
    Managing the infrastructure of academic institutions in developing countries is human capital intensive in nature. However, management and maintenance is required so as to forestall hazards that may result in emergencies. With the increasing use of mobile devices such as tablets in academic institutions, staff and students can also contribute to managing the infrastructure by being able to report cases that may lead to hazards. When emergencies eventually occur it is also essential for staff and students to be able to get across to the right personnel in good time so as to manage the situation and prevent it from causing discomfort to the academic community. This research work is aimed at providing support for reporting infrastructural defects and managing emergencies in academic institutions of developing countries. This isachieved by developing a mobile-based Emergency Report and Response system. The system helps to create an easier and proactive means of alerting the management of an institution of hazards by leveraging on the members of the institution including staff and students. © 2016 Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, India.
