Nokia Data Gathering
The Nokia Data Gathering is a tool for quick and dynamic data collection and transmission using Nokia devices. Its main advantage is that these data are able to be sent through the operators’ network, as well as other means.
The data collected is transferred for a Server using WI-FI, Bluetooth, GPRS, SMS or memory card. The system is operated using multi platforms assuring the data storage in a central server that organizes and makes the information available in an efficient way, increasing the speed on strategic decisions allowing immediate actions and answers.
The use of NDG for data collection and information transfer is able to replace the pen and paper method, assuring greater precision in its results. The software usage can be extended to different cases, such as:
- Health: Diseases identification, monitoring, vaccination;
- Security: Police, boundaries, militaries;
- Disasters: Ambiental Phenomena, earthquakes;
- Elections monitoring, census;
- Data collection on the Field that needs real-time information.
ShareIdeas
ShareIdeas.org is an online community and wiki for sharing ideas on how to use mobile communications for social and environmental benefits.The site is facilitated by a team of ambassadors and Nokia Technology Institute (INdT) in Brazil.
ShareIdeas.org was created with support from Nokia and Vodafone, but belongs to the growing global network of individuals and organizations that use this virtual gathering place to communicate - and collaborate.
The idea for ShareIdeas.org came from Ndidi Nwuneli, founder and CEO of LEAP Africa, a Nigerian NGO dedicated to nurturing a new generation of African leaders.
"Groups like ours would really benefit from a resource that shows us how to use mobile technology to carry out our work more effectively," said Ndidi at a Nokia stakeholder event of NGO and corporate leaders.
ShareIdeas.org was created in response to Ndidi’s request.
