Description:
The primary aim of the SmartCare project is the continuing development of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) suitable for use in Zambia and developing nations around the world.

The project takes advantage of two innovative technologies to enhance the reliability and usability of the system:

1) a Smart Card storage medium which enables an individual patient to possess and transport their own electronic medical data; and

2) a touch screen optimized user interface for ease of clinician adoption.

The system currently has 7 modules, Voluntary Counseling & Testing (VCT), AnteNatal Care (ANC), Delivery, Pharmacy, Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), Labs and Tuberculosis (TB). The ART module is the most highly developed and as of January 2007 there are over 65,000 patients whose ART care is managed and recorded by the SmartCare system.

From a technical perspective, the current version of the system, v3.1.5, has been developed in the C# programming language on top of the .Net framework and uses Microsoft’s SQLServer Developer Engine as the underlying database.
