DHIS2 is a free, open-source software platform for collecting, analyzing, visualizing and sharing data. The DHIS2 data model supports both aggregate and individual-level data — including features for monitoring and following up with individual people or entities over time — and online and offline data entry via the DHIS2 web portal, mobile Android app, SMS, or direct import.

DHIS2 is the world’s leading Health Management Information System (HMIS), and it has also been deployed in a variety of other contexts, including for the management of education, logistics, and agriculture projects, among others. See the DHIS2 in Action page for examples of where and how DHIS2 is currently used.

DHIS2 lets you manage and analyze aggregate and individual-level data with a flexible data model which has been field-tested for more than 20 years. The platform is fully customizable to meet a variety of use cases, and can be configured as a data warehouse for data from a variety of sources. DHIS2 includes advanced features for dynamic data visualization, like maps, charts, pivot tables and dashboards, as well as social analytics features to help you and your colleagues bring meaning to your data.

Through the Tracker application, DHIS2 enables you to collect, manage and analyze transactional, case-based data records. It lets you store information about individuals and track these persons over time using a flexible set of identifiers. As an example, you can use DHIS2 to collect and share essential clinical health data records across multiple health facilities. Individuals can be enrolled for longitudinal programs with several stages. You can configure SMS reminders, track missed appointments, generate visit schedules and much more.

You can expand the reach of DHIS2 through the DHIS2 Android App, which lets you register cases, events and personal information, track individuals, conduct surveys and capture aggregate data, all through a mobile phone. It tailors the DHIS2 user experience for the front-line workers collecting data at community level with mobile devices.

The app allows you to reach the last mile, collecting data even in locations where you do not have access to Internet connection. It also integrates SMS reporting for those cases where relying on Internet access is not a viable option.
