Here, John built the AI backend for Tattara, DSN’s multilingual data collection application that ingests text, audio, and image data and automatically structures them into standardized forms.

The DSN AI Data Collection App is a web-based platform designed to streamline and enhance data entry, validation, and integration using AI assistance. This application will go beyond DHIS2-specific integration by supporting two backend modes:
1. DHIS2 Mode – Direct integration with DHIS2 instances using its API.
2. Generic DB Mode – Configurable connectors for standard relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc.) and other system APIs.
The app leverages AI/ML models for automated data validation, context-aware entry assistance, bulk entry optimization, and anomaly detection. It will:
* Allow text-based data entry with NLP-based object recognition.
* Enable voice-based data entry in multiple local languages with AI-powered data element recognition.
* Enable image-based (OCR) capture of handwritten notes and auto-fill structured fields.
* Integrate seamlessly with DHIS2 while also functioning as a standalone app.
