Joel Selanikio/DataDyne In 2006, DataDyne partnered with the UN Foundation, the Vodafone Foundation, the World Health Organization and the Ministries of Health in Kenya and Zambia to begin yearlong pilot programs in both countries. Under the pilot, 30 health officials in Kenya and Zambia were given Palm devices loaded with EpiSurveyor, which they were trained to use for recording measles vaccinations. The pilot was called a success when officials in Kenya reconfigured EpiSurveyor, on their own initiative, to track a cholera outbreak in the north.
