The first and foremost concerns of BRAC health program is to provide health service to mass populations. To cope up with changing world’s need BRAC Health department should accept the fruit of technology. As a result we have proposed three solutions to automate the entire health peocess namely- (I) using hand scanner, mobile phone and OCR technology, (II) using Epi Info software package tools for data analysis, (III) web-based database system. This report focuses on automation using hand scanner, mobile phone and OCR technology. It offers real time data usability and scope for analysis. Thus provides rapid and accurate decision making opportunity.
