Buendia 0.15 (MSF Geneva demo)

How to install

The app will work on any Android tablet or phone.

First, uninstall Buendia from your device.

Then download buendia-0.15-demo.apk (in Assets below) to the tablet.

Then open the file (find it by pulling down notifications or in the Downloads app) and follow the prompts.

What's new?

• Startup:
  • When first installed, the app is set up to work with a Buendia server on a local network (just as we expect in a real Ebola Treatment Center), instead of our test server on the Internet.
• Data synchronization:
  • The internal synchronization system in the app has been substantially reworked. In particular, the app used to have trouble with sync (or not sync at all) when no Internet connection is found on the network; now, sync works just as well on a local network without Internet as it does with Internet.
  • Edits from other tablets now appear more quickly on the patient chart. Whereas previously the patient name and location would update in 5 minutes and the chart data would update in 1 minute, now all the information on the chart updates within 30 seconds.
• Patient chart:
  • Rows in the chart can now be organized under section headings.
  • The dates ("Day 4", "Day 5") in the top row appear in red for Saturday and Sunday, to make it a little easier to see which days are which.
  • New arrow buttons in the bottom-right corner let you scroll the chart without having to swipe (in case it is hard to swipe on a wet tablet).
  • The new "home" button (circle) in the bottom-right corner jumps to the current day and time.
  • The grid headings (top row and left column) have been reworked, and they now scroll more responsively when you scroll the chart.
  • The left column of the chart grid was previously misaligned, often getting worse near the bottom; the grid rows are now properly aligned.
• Treatments (bottom of patient chart):
  • Tick marks now show in the treatment rows indicating the precise times when they were given.
  • Treatment rows are now colour-coded and organized by their route of administration (PO, IV, etc.).
  • The dialog for adding a new treatment now has a menu for quickly selecting common medications.
  • In the detail dialog showing when a treatment was given, the list of times is now shown in sorted order.
• Troubleshooting
  • There were a few visual improvements and grammar corrections in the troubleshooting messages (such as "Server unreachable").
• Many bugs have been fixed that previously would cause the app to crash under certain conditions.
