35. Replicability
35
• Total 111 health contents & 26 UNICEF video are ready
to deliver
• It’s a android based mobile application. Currently
android is commonest operating system used in India
• The project just replaces the conventional IEC system.
So benefits to HWs have increased rate of acceptance.
• Case reporting facility will enable HWs to deliver
qualitative and prompt service.
• As tablet supports 21 Indian vernacular language,
Contents can be prepared in vernacular language and
deployment will be very easy.

36. Scalability
36
The data collected viz. Work status and GPS help
• The cost of each tab with software and services is fixed
for unlimited years and can be used for unlimited IEC
without any extra cost. Tab and software licenses are
permanent asset to the organization and any number of
other departments/schemes ppts can be added.
• Moreover latest technology like mobile and cloud have
been used to keep overheads and running cost low in
future. The data collected viz. Work status and GPS help
in GIS based planning and decision making which cannot
be quantified in money terms.
