AstriCon 2020 [Plan 9]

The objective is to share how since 2013, we are leveraging Asterisk and are building health tools around it to be able to conduct many research-action projects in some countries in Africa. How from 2013 to 2014 we gave voice to people (including those usually who are not eared or does not have the tribune to talk) about what was good and bad in the healthcare system in Burkina Faso (public & private), citizen or health services workers How from 2015 to 2016 we reached out to people regularly to help them know better and fight malaria disease and how the result were also monitored through different groups with randomizing of voice messages & effective listening tracking How since 2017 to now are building with passion data collection platforms including various sources (voice, phone/tablet/ web site, digital-born...) to gather, analyze and share health care systems information at scale and continuously and how at the time I'm writing this submission we are thinking with research partners to deploy something to help against covid19 as well. We will also discuss how Asterisk as a community project helps to make this happen and how we contributed back to share knowledge and codes with the community.
