We have launched Beta testing program of mUzima for Health Providers version 2.7.0 and mUzima Core version 1.7.0 ahead of its official release slated for mid-December. mUzima app is an android based mobile extension to the widely deployed OpenMRS electronic record system which strives to innovatively use mobile technology to improve the reach of clinical care beyond tethered and connected settings.
Few months since our previous release (v2.6.0) in July this year, mUzima for Health Providers has undergone some enhancements to meet the needs of clients who have implemented our application. At mUzima, we make sure that the user experience and user interaction improves in every new release. User feedback is used to inform various improvements and bug fixes.
The v2.7.0 will be an important release as it has been incorporated with new features, improvements and bug fixes. These are;
> Support for additional languages, namely Hindi and Gujarat besides English, Swahili, French and Portuguese.
> Features for index case testing, such as enabling person demographics update and Person Observation processing.
> Bug fixes and several UI enhancements for improved user experience.
Beta testing for both the APK and the core module is available for the next two weeks (14 Days) before it is promoted to production if no issue is raised. Therefore, we call upon all implementers and volunteers to participate in the testing (against a replica of their production environment) to ensure that everything is working well before the final release is done.
Here are the steps to be followed so as to test the App and module by use of laid down test cases. Please help to suggest more test cases where you identify any use case that is not covered.
There are three options for getting the APK:
> For those already signed up as mUzima testers, the APK is available on Playstore
> For those willing to sign up as mUzima beta testers, please sign up here and then access the APK on Playstore
> For those who want to install 2.7.0 beta APK directly, please do so from Dropbox
The compatible mUzima core module (version 1.7.0) is available on Dropbox
