"After the team arrives in the village, they begin examining patients. The first patient, an infant, was born since the team last visited. The physician performs a routine examination, during which the assistant first creates a new record for the child, and then records the physician?s observations of the child's vital signs (weight, length, sex, date of birth, pulse rate, etc.).
During the same visit, the physician also examines the child's mother. She has been seen previously by the team, and her medical record is retrieved from the system's database. The assistant records the mother's observations about the birth. She is suffering from mastitis, and the physician prescribes several medications as treatment. The assistant records the illness and the medications left with the mother. Her database record is updated."

How was the navigation?
Difficult, but that is mainly due to lack of functionality from being a prototype
Does it have all of the functionality that you would like?
No
If not, what would you like to see included?
A decision support system for maintaining stock levels with GST support
What would you like to see improved or changed with the prototype?
All of the forms linked and a prototype to run on my Macintosh.
What was your impression of the aesthetics or appearance of the prototype?
General impression was very positive.
General Comments and Feedback
Maybe a little early to criticise as I do understand that the prototype is still in
the early phases of development. However it is looking promising. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your time and feedback. It is much appreciated.
