Kyle-Falconer commented 7 years ago

India has this reminder system that works over SMS. Here's the description for it:

Request all parents to use this brilliant service

One more initiative by our PM Narendra Modi for a healthy future generation National Vaccine Reminder is a free service.

Just SMS your child's name and date of birth to 566778 in the following format:-

Immunize[space] child's name [space] child's date of birth

Example - Immunize Krishna 01-01-2015

Reminder for every vaccination of the child will be SMSed to you 2 days in advance.

This will continue till the time your child is 12 years old.

Gift your child a healthy life..

Pl forward this msg to all your friends in your contacts.

ALL WHO HAS KIDS BELOW 12 YEARS MUST REGISTER THEMSELVES Kindly circulate to all paediatrician.

@Kyle-Falconer Sorry to revive this. I really like this idea and what India has done. Has anyone taken on this project?

Kyle-Falconer commented 4 years ago

@antoineblueberry Nope! It's free at the moment, though if you want to work on this together, I'd be down for doing what I can.

I imagine it shouldn't be too bad to do purely over SMS using Twilio.

Also, there is an abandoned project around tracking immunizations here: https://github.com/codeforsanjose/ImmunizationSJ
