A free web application for data collection on mobile phones! DataDyne's EpiSurveyor.org is the first cloud-computing application for international development and global health. It's a free web-based system that lets you quickly and easily collect data on mobile phones.  Think of it as "like Gmail, but for data collection!"

No expensive consultants needed!  We believe mobile data collection should be as easy as email! With EpiSurveyor, you just log in online at www.episurveyor.org, create your forms, download them to phones, and start collecting data in real-time! No consultants required -- it's that easy. Just like with Gmail, most of our users never even need to contact us.

No expensive equipment needed!  Works on common and inexpensive mobile phones available in every country, as well as Blackberries, and even Android phones (see here for list of supported phones). 

Fast, private, secure, and compatible!  Collect data in realtime and upload it to your account on our secure server (or just transfer it to your laptop: use of our servers is totally optional). Analyze your data as soon as data collection is done, even if you're collecting data in multiple countries -- you can use the analysis features of our website, or  export your data for analysis in txt, xls, or mdb format. 

Simple, affordable, and TRULY sustainable! 99% of our 2200+ users around the globe never need to pay a thing (because the basic free system is so good!). Groups that need training, customization, or extra support or storage do pay us for our time, of course -- and we use that revenue to provide the wonderful basic system to anyone who wants it, free of charge!  

We think this is a great way to give terrific mobile data collection capacity to everyone in the world in a truly sustainable way.

Recognized for Excellence! Winner of the Wall Street Journal award for Healthcare, the Lemelson-MIT award for Sustainability, and many other awards, and used by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, John Snow Inc, Abt Associates, the International Federation of the Red Cross, the CDC, the US and Canadian governments, and hundreds of health ministries, NGOs, and individual researchers worldwide.  Even TulaSalud of Guatemala, a small NGO fighting maternal mortality, uses EpiSurveyor (and they even made these videos about it).
