Go.Data +17

Go.Data is a software developed by the World Health Organization in collaboration with partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). This is an outbreak investigation and field data collection tool focusing on case and contact data (including lab, hospitalization and other variables through case investigation form).

Go.Data consists of two components: 1. web application which can run on a server or as a stand-alone application and 2. optional mobile app. The mobile app is focused on case and contact data collection, and contact follow-up. Go.Data mobile app cannot be used independently, but only in conjunction with the Go.Data web application. Each Go.Data web application instance is separate and installed by countries / institutions on their infrastructure.
Go.Data is multi-lingual, with possibility to add and manage additional languages through user interface. It is highly configurable, with possibility to manage:
- Outbreak data, including variables on the case investigation form and the contact follow-up form.
- Case, contact, contact of contact data
- Laboratory data
- Reference data
- Location data

One Go.Data installation can be used to manage multiple outbreaks. Each outbreak can be configured in a different way to match the specifics of a pathogen or environment.

User can add cases, contacts, contacts of contacts and laboratory results. In addition users also have an option to create events which may be relevant for outbreak investigation. Contact follow-up lists are generated using outbreak parameters (i.e. number of days to follow-up contacts, how many times per day should contacts be followed-up, follow-up interval).

Extensive data export and data import features are available to support the work of data managers and data analysts.
