Rural Kenyans are now able to access data of various institutions in the fields of agriculture, health and education by sending a text to a smartphone-based data management system application.
The application has been under development for the last two months and holds the data of different companies and institutions, as well as their products, services and prices in case one is looking to buy something or find out the expenses they would incur if they were to undertake a certain project.
Speaking to HumanIPO, the innovator of the application David Obuola said: “This data management system will help rural people as most cannot be able to access the internet, it will work as a mini internet for villagers.”
The subscribers to the application will use a code to access the service. Obuola is yet to get the code but it should be in operation soon.
Obuola has been working on the application with the help of a grant given to him through the Innovator Society of Kenya and presented it at the National Science, Technology and Innovation week at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi.
David is the same innovator who is credited with the the telemedicine concept in Kenya.
